You are what you want to be.  Ralph has had his 'macaca' moment.
He is not just done, he is sprouting mold.  It's a new period for all of us,
will take some getting used to.

Suppose the U.S. is heading towards social-democracy.  What does the
left do in that context?  What are the priorities?  European voices ought
to be informative on this.
