And this is a bad thing? ;^)

I have a problem with any essay that sneers at "free speech and voting rights."

Seriously, though, I do understand that some of those rightist concerns are legit. Nevertheless, I absolutely believe that it is well past time for the pendulum to swing back from the steadily intensifying right-wing rule, and the growing power of the miliitary-industrial complex, that we've been enduring since 1980.
