I'm not sure if, were I not blind, I would be so contemptuous of Facebook. As it is, I like the comments on it by Bruce Dixon and Glen Ford.

But from fragments I have seen, it's an odd conversation at present on lob-alum -- a long drawn out gab fest on Yoshie & Mark.

We attended their wedding, they have visited us; we've visited them. They make a fine political team -- and I don't myself see any necessary contradiction between being a Presbyterian and an anti-capitalist revolutionary, nor anything ironic in their marriage. Justin's initial post, referred to in the facebook discussion, was silly also; the contradiction he seemed to see didn't exist, unless one thinks that Marxism is a TOE!
