Steven,

To me, your critique of those dictatorships is tepid and brief.

But really, I don't think that any further debate on this topic is actually going to get us anywhere, right now.

Suffice to say that while I have serious disagreements with you on the above issue(s), I think that we are both locally doing positive work in the here-and-now. That's good enough for me, for today.

Maybe we'll discuss it further over a big mug of Zapatista coffee.

In Solidarity.
