Hi Paula:
So? Is this supposed to show _anything_ of significance ....?

Ah, yes, divisive. When African-Americans demanded civil rights, they were
accused of being "divisive". When women demanded equal rights and an
end to sexual harassment, they were accused of being "divisive". It is
high time for the Left to recognize actual differences in the working class
and the world rather than sweep them under the rug and call them "divisive".
There are _actual_ divides within the class and the world and _genuine_
unity
(unity-in-difference rather than simple, undifferentiated unity) requires a
recognition and a coming to terms with these differences. That is the
_only_ way
to move on....
In solidarity, Jerry
