Good grief, we are identical: <I am not an ideologue; if I had to classify myself, I'd use words like "realist", "pragmatist". Also I'm a devout anti-fascist and atheist, in fact an equal-opportunity skeptic.>

Isn't it remarkable how two identical people can think they think so differently? Not being an ideologue, I go light on the "devout" aspect of anti-fascist and atheist. Let's face it, the teleological aspects of consciousness and cosmic physics as best we can figure them out are a bewildering puzzle making atheism a less than guaranteed winning bet. Neither is it simple to come up with a precisely rational relationship between collectivist and private interests.

Heck, even ElM has shown wonderful attributes lately. What's the world coming to? Thank goodness Yiwu the Mad isn't here to spoil the joy. But Chas remains beyond the pale so it's not an unadulterated cloying mutual admiration society.

Kumbaya,
