I'm willing to post worldwide (I'm in the UK), and it would be great if people could offer the shows back up once they receive them.

If there are flame-throwers waiting in the wings, then to paraphrase pretender-in-chief Bush, 'bring 'em on'. However, after reading subsequent posts, I'm not sure if KBP's complaint is with Eno's conclusions or simply with his writing style. In that regard, from my "school of thought"; an issue demands a treatment that effectively communicates the information and/or point of view (regardless of how "serious" the issue is perceived to be) to the intended audience. Personally, I'm grateful to those with the knowledge and ability to "dumb down" any complex issue, so that my feeble mind can grasp the basics and build upon it. I recently read Greg Palast's "Best Democracy Money Can Buy", Pat Buchanan's "Death of the West", Joe Conason's "The Big Lies" and am currently reading "Sacred Rage: The Wrath of Militant Islam" by Robin Cook. And I agree, Eno's article was hardly in depth (but how could it be in that forum?) and I probably won't have run across it were it not linked here, but I obviously agree with his main point (as I understood it). And quite honestly, I believe it was at least commensurate with the treatment of the public by the U.S. administration ... except it wasn't written with chalk a on stone tablet .... "yes sirrre, mr prezident, praise the lord and pass the ammunition ... let's smoke out those evil-doers ... yee-haa!!" James deep in the heart of America, the misguided ps. i apologize if this doesn't make any sense; i was released from the hospital today following my fifth stroke in the last 18 months ... which i'm sure is completely coincidental in terms of the current state of affairs in Washington DC. at any rate, typing is extremely difficult and thinking, more than a bit muddled. but i've yet to be blinded by the right (and yes that is the title of David Brock's book that I stole.) ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V8 #238 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
