You're not listening.  I don't think that anybody in this thread is
disagreeing with George's message.  In fact, it seems that everybody has
said they agree with it.  They (we) just feel that his message would be
more widely accepted if it was packaged better.  Is that so hard to
understand?  An "attack" on George's methods of communication is NOT an
attack on the WKPP, GUE, DIR methods, etc.  It is just some people
pointing out that in their opinion the message would be more accepted if
it was put out in a better package.

If we lose the emotion and defensiveness while we're discussing this
issue, we'd probably get more accomplished.  Go ahead and get emotional
when there is an accident, but when it comes time to discuss it, and try
and find solutions you need to drop the emotion and use logic.

Sincerely,
