Well, and hello to you, Mary.

You are right. She is wrong.

One of the things that makes this conversation so odd is that both of us think we are arguing for common sense. For the life of me, I cannot see how anyone could take any other position than the one that says you have to mobilize the political before you can get anything done. It's nice and important to have "solutions" on the shelf before and during that process, but they are likely to only faintly resemble the solutions which show up at the end.

And none that are conceived without political support will ever have the proverbial change of a snowball in wherever.

And, apparently, Karen feels precisely the opposite.

Well. . . . .
