tell you what. let's resolve not just to feed this into our little political interpretation machines, left or right. it's not necessary for everything that happens to confirm our political positions! i mean how insecure and monomaniacal are we? it would be a very good idea to try to hold on to the reality and particularity of people, events, situations. wait a minute before you look at any given event as an example of something or ask how it can be used.
