This screed is essentially pure-quill mental imbalance. I was in school in America in 1979, too. I subscribed to BYTE, Science 80, the whole nine yards.

And then you go right off the rails screeching about Communist influence as though this were anything but raving paranoia. I'm a liberal Quaker (Quakerism far predates Communism) and - you know what? - I seem to have been left off the distribution list from Moscow. Basically, all I can think when I read this is that you need to get back on your meds. "Pathologically insane ideas," my ass. How anybody can view liberalism as an attack on the Enlightenment - when it is the Enlightenment - is frankly flabbergasting.
