you published it yourself. This is quite different from being a "published author", where some level of editorial process and criticism would be invoved. How is this different from vanity publishing? Both are equally onanistic. The point is, you believe this manifesto to represent some "way forward for humanity". God knows you keep shoving it under people's noses. If there were any ideas worthy of real consideration, surely some editor of political or social polemic would snap it up and publish it more widely?

I am indeed off to visit America soon - but first I had an event to organise in London, celebrating the folk song legacy of Vaughan Williams. Tell me, what did you do with your weekend? Chew on your plastic recorder some more?
