I am not sure I would ever turn Marxist (I think my trajectory is  
quite similar to JP Narayan minus the overt commitment -- and the  
actual activism!), but I do think, despite his recent nonsense about  
Gandhi/India, Carrol would be a pretty sweet chap ... in person. ;-)

Dennis, yes, I got that sentence wrong, didn't I? But Carrol's post  
offered other examples. Let me know if you want me to look it up and  
repost.
