[lbo-talk] Re: My interview w/ World Burns to Death

[John Thornton]

Disagree all you want but the research is on pretty firm ground. I 
assume you are disagreeing with the research results based on having 
read some or most of it
rather than seat-of-the-pants observations? The woman who runs the local 
soup kitchen drives an SUV as does the professor next door neighbor. 
Neither of
them seem paranoid or anti-social to me but that observation hardly 
disproves the research findings. My SO's uncle is a teamster dispute 
mediator with leftist
feelings but if you get to know him he is far more paranoid than he has 
any reason to be. He chose to live 40 miles from town so he may be 
somewhat anti-social
as well. He drives an SUV.
