But as the classic NYer cartoon went, showing too canines in front of a computer one commenting to the other: "In cyberspace no-one knows you are a dog", or anything other than what and who we indicate we are...dj - When you mentioned Power to Harm, I thought maybe you were me, because I have mentioned it in other posts. Your perspective is often very close to mine. I can't promise I am not a dog. Occasionally some people call me that, but it is a ebonic term of respect.
> Regardless, of all that and not being familiar with more than your recent posts I must say that I find them very thoughtful, informed and well written. One of my degrees is in poli.-sci. or poli. studies as it is called at Queen's U. in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, so I appreciate that influence in your postings as well as your overall erudite analysis, which concurs with much of my own, based on extensive readings, viewings and listenings.

Not a chance. The rub is, I am a high school dropout. Quite autidatic, though, and employed as a really low-paid writer. Some would likely disagree about my posts being well-written - I tend to not spell check these posts, and they are usually not very well edited. (for example I tagged one of shars paragraphs as mine) Maybe someday i will be able to write along these lines for publication, but this guerilla work suits me fine!I have been told more than once that many people do not like me but are very fond of my media work. Go figure...
