Gosh, imagine what the radical right could have
accomplished had they set out with "questions that
could not be answered in advance." Poor sods -- they
thought they had answers about how power works and
placing a particularly naive emphasis on branches of

few bull sessions in grad school, I guess. God help us
if they ever discover guerilla street theatre.
