Hi Searle,

As usual your intellectualism and crafty debate technique shine through as rarely else around the SI water cooler. Thanks for your erudition, and the fact that you are the rare jewel of a fellow who actually understands what Tim Berners-Lee was up to when he was pioneering the Uniform Resourse Identifier, no matter that the world decided on URL instead.

Re: You are correct to suggest that democracy is abhorrent to the traditional right but the concern of the present administration with democracy, albeit a perverted version of it, belies its leftist roots.

Hogwash. This is clearly not a matter of Left v. Right. It is a matter of authoritarianism vs. libertarianism.

I think this website does a terrific job of clearing up the confusion about Left vs. Right. That is entirely too simplistic a way to categorize what is more of a matrix of views, rather than a continuum of same.

The Bushistas and the neo-cons in particular ascribe to the worldview that they know best how the world should be run, therefore they should run it and reap the reward. This is the profoundly anti-democratic message that they have for the world.
