Dear Julio,
While I sympathize with your outrage regarding many US policies, please bear
in mind that this is not the US foreign policy discussion list but the Walker
Percy List. What hold this list together is a shared interest in the writings
of
Walker Percy.
If you want to start a list in which discussion is focused on some other topic,
you are of course welcome to do so, but this is not the place.
friendly greetings,
Jim Forest

My very personal view is that we are rushing into chaos with
fundamentalists of all sorts ruling this poor planet. Somehow I'm
reminded of Orwell's "1984" and Bradbury's "Fahrenheit
451", not to
mention Doris Lessing's "Shikasta" -all of which bear a re-reading in
the light of what's going on everywhere...
Best wishes,
Julio
PS. Again, as some of you very well know, I'm not precisely a fan of
Mr. Chávez -but that doesn't mean I'm very tranquil or happy with the
likes of Mr. Bush, Mr. Rumsfeld or the pious Mr. Robertson.
