Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re[2]: you are insufferably sanctimonious
Well, I for one have no problem with off topic discussions, actually I think
they add to the total very nicely, but this one I think may have gone a bit too
far as it appears to have morphed into something personal.
Would it be too much to ask those involved to take this off-line (namely leave the list out of it).
TIA Dick Goulet

Tom/rich/whoever,
All the unrepentant (post-60s) leftists I know accuse me of being a "traitor" for having taken a objective look at the validity of "conservative" perspectives. Conservative perspectives confirm the need for ethical base(s) and creative/dynamic energy arising from diverse ethnic/religious communities to offset the tendency toward monopolistic "leftist oligarchies" within social systems. eg, see Jurgen Habermas (and Seymour Lipset:)
