Hi, Angela. Maybe you have some insights into what makes Alan Wallach tick.
Here is a 60 year old art historian, PhD graduate of Columbia University,
who teaches at what amounts to a finishing school for rich white kids in
Virginia. Instead of writing something interesting on art or culture, he
wastes his time and our time picking his nose and wiping the snot on a
supposedly serious, if not scholarly, email list. What makes a shmuck like
him imagine that he is some kind of "communist"? Do you get an FBI file for
speaking on panels about Norman Rockwell? What did this knucklehead do
throughout the past 40 years to give him the impression that he was
fighting against capitalism? Does crawling your way up to the post of full
professor, while writing about museums, serve as an example for the working
class? I don't get it.
