Melinda,
Don't make your role/mission/assignment to subvert, deflect, dumb-down, or
dismiss meaningful conversation so obvious!

MAY BE NOT, BUT SINCE IT'S AN "INTELLIGENCE TEST" BEING ABLE TO SAY I TOLD YOU
SO, WILL/MAY GIVE SOME OF US AN EDGE TO HELP PUT THE BROKEN PHYSICS BACK

'overkillish', he has never pretended to be anything else than what he is. I
think activists need to put more energy into shifting the contours of the
discourse so that ostensible leaders like obama (and other sell-outs) can be
more progressive. As it is, they are bound by the hegemonic parameters and to
stray outside of those is political suicide - eg cynthia mckinney.
