re: #80 Athens Runaway

Well, it IS what the majority of Americans want.

Yes it is.

I had a discussion with a friend who is English and works in DC as a free lance policy wonk for different think tanks — a pretty cool job but he is over educated, articulate and thinks 50 moves ahead, so he deserves it. Anyway, he told me about 5 years ago that the Democrats had really turned into the reactionary party and that they would come to power on a promise to turn back the clocks but presented in a way that seemed forward looking.

I argued with him.

He was dead right.

I think I will email him my concession on the matter.
