Jim DiEugenio Wrote:Phil, the stuff I am finding out about Bugliosi and Helter Skelter is, I mean, even for me, its startling. Because I never read that book before I started this one.
I just mailed for a book on the subject that was published in Europe, and I hope I have the opportunity to read the whole thing, its 900 pages, before my deadline at the end of this month.
A simple observation, made without rancor and with the intent to offer positive reinforcement:
By your own admission, Jim, it's clear that your learning curve is appropriately steep and, at this point in time, represents a journey barely begun. With all due respect, please consider extending your deadline until you've been able to mine insight from the startle reflex.
I'm sure you'll agree that the last thing the canon of deep political research needs is another under-informed book-length examination of extraordinarily complex and challenging subjects.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
