From: Mike Mr. Atkinson, I've read the essay you sent me. While I am in no way even remotely sympathetic to the Gore camp, I found it to be the most egregiously generalized load of crap I've read since some woefully out-of-touch '45 grad sputtered and railed against the Naval Academy. (Hey, maybe he wrote this one too!) I found the labeling of an entire generation of Americans based on the actions of a small group (based on population) of college-age, anti-war activists as believable and honorable as a Hillary Clinton stump speech. I'm guessing the author (is this you?) gets $5 for every over-used, under-supported buzzword he can stuff into his essay. I'd say his take, based on the plethora of "radical feminists", "cultural Marxists", "Clintonistas" "New Age Bolsheviks", and the like, must net him enough to buy permanent membership into the Buchanan fan club. I wonder if the huge numbers of blue collars, minimum-wage earners, and other economically dispossessed Democrats who chose to cast their vote for Gore would be surprised to find themselves sharing values with the "power elite"--but not with the Heartland.[Don't tell Iowa!] I wonder if the ladies on my daughter's soccer team secretly discuss their march down the Franco-German path of socialism and their ultimate destination of Bolshevik socialism. I always thought they just bitched about what jerks men are. (I've got to get out more!) Anyway Mr. Atkinson, we don't know each other. If this is your idea of thought-provoking, serious intellectual grist, remind me not to change that condition. If ya got some better stuff, lemme know. Don't expect my check.
