At least she is clear and upfront about her view of the world: "the fundamental questions: Who's getting screwed, and who's doing the screwing?" A reader can decide if that is an attractive world view or not. Personally, I disagree with her assessment but I love her clarity and self-awareness. It would be a very good thing of all of the pundit class would follow her lead on this. One of the reasons passionate liberals and conservatives find it hard to communicate is that they are not aware of the fundamental assumptions of their position. Each sees a different world and honestly wonders if the other is blind. Paul
