Very interesting quick reflexes from some people in this list who, a la Michael Dawson,as soon as someone in the left does something affirmative and courageous, a la Churchill or a la Galoway,they start their own flow of smears and devaluations on him/her.Strange! Cristobal

******************

Critical observations are part and parcel of a real, human, intelligent left which values free speech as something which the oppressed have *won* over the eons. It's not meant to be character assasination as much as a defense against cults of personality. Remember the old aphporism, taken to heart by so many official lefties in our history, "Criticism of the Soviet Union is, by definition, *objectively* counter-revolutionary."

Best, Mike B)
