Response to Tom Condon on the Court:  If you want a conservative court,
that will not lean towards enhanced civil liberties, but away from that;
that will tend to allow the wholesale abandoning of affirmative action
and voting rights; and that will support Reagan in his quest to break
trade unions, vote for Reagan.  If you don't, that may well be what you
get if Reagan's elected, so think about NOT voting for him.  It's that
simple.  Just remember, though, that the Court lasts a lot longer than
four years, and that either way, we will be very old people before the
legacy of the Reagan court leaves us.  And I say that as a 25-year-old.

Response to Tom Condon on Vietnam:  The way you avoid unconditional
surrender is not to get into a war in the first place.   The mistakes
made at the end of the sixties and early seventies were only compounding
the mistakes made in the fifties and early sixties.  And these are only
a result of the large mistake that has been U.S. foreign policy since
World War II.  If the U.S. is going to define its "national interest"
as requiring intervention in every small nation in the world that dares
to experiment with different economic systems, that mistake is going to
continue.  Just watch Nicaragua and El Salvador, a.k.a. "Vietnam II: Return
of the Intervenors".
