Kindred,
Your response strikes me as very young and silly. It impresses no one but child-like true believers to categorize people and sneer with words like centrist. These litmus tests remind me of purges and other authoritarian tactics.
You know nothing about me. You don’t know that in 1968 I was made “an honorary black panther” when that group spoke at the school I was attending and liked what I said. I kept the friendships forged and spent time traveling with people whose names you’d know.
You don’t know that in 1967 I got tear gassed fighting so that children in Vietnam would not be napalmed and ruined my lungs and have had asthma ever since. In fact, you know nothing about me.
You response is just filled with vitriol and assumptions. You feel fierce and powerful, but you foolish and false conclusions have no more force than the little bites of a kitten.
Why did you assume you knew so much about me? Because I am not dogmatic and indoctrinated?
