<DIV><BR></DIV>Alice, sounds like you have a fascinating manuscript in the
works! What you have sent is really mouth-watering. <BR><BR>Alice may be onto
something here. They do see themselves as underdogs. This justifies the more
radical responses. Of course, since the days of LBJ in the Senate (see Master
of the Senate by Caro), the Dems have enjoyed a majority, basically until
mid-Clinton. During the the LBJ presidency and the 70s the left was clearly
ascendent. Now they seem to be diminishing, and demographics seem to portend
nothing but trouble for the Left.<BR><BR>I recall my hippy friends in the late
60s saying 'when the revolution comes' and I always wondered why we would
revolt, since I thought we had the greatest country in the world by far. I
thought, "Oh, oh, If the revolution comes, I will have to fight my own
friends." Even then there was a deep streak of hate and violence. Tom
Hayden clearly wanted people to die in Chicago in 68. I wonder if it isn't
also the notion that 'the system is rotten' and therefore one is justified in
violence, lies, and any other mechanism. My own experience with the Left in
the 60s left me wondering what they were thinking and why they were so angry.
I think it is the Marxist underpinnings. Paul Johnson's <I>Intellectuals</I>
helped me see the personal life of Marx and how it corrupted his political
views. <BR><BR>Thanks for the food for thought!<BR>Lynn<BR><BR>Alice Andrews
