How pompous you sound. And what a load of high-minded twaddle you spout.

No action will lie on these facts, thank heaven, or taxpayers would be left with nothing. Teacher's lecture was typical third-rate public education prepared no doubt according to brain-dead standards, which seem to sink lower and lower each year. Happily, few of us have ever relied school lessons for wisdom. When the soul craves something in the way of substance, we take recourse to a library - either the school's or one of the many public institutions available to us free of charge.

How tiresome of you to be a Communist, which has been passe for some time now. You must read Sayles' classic send-up of your ilk, The Anarchists' Convention http://www.askbiblitz.com/seniors.php:

'I tell them it's a matter of hours and look for Sophie. She's by Baker, the Committee Chairman this year. Always the Committee Chairman, he's the only one with such a streak of masochism. Sophie's by Baker and there's no sign of her Mr. Gillis.

There's another one makes the hip act up. Two or three times I've seen the man since he set up housekeeping with Sophie, and every time I'm in pain. Like an allergy, only bone-deep. It's not just he's CP from the word go - we all had our fling with the Party, and they have their point of view. But Gillis is the sort that didn't hop off of Joe Stalin's bandwagon till after it nose-dived into the sewer. The deal with Berlin wasn't enough for Gillis, or the Purges, no, nor any of the other tidbits that started coming out from reliable sources. Not till the Party announced officially that Joe was off the Sainted list did Gillis catch a whiff.

Maybe he's a good cook. ...'
