I've been sitting this one out, actually deleting most of the messages 
unread, as it's not of central interest to me. I had the misfortune of 
reading a few of the last posts, though and feel compelled to respond.
I suppose Louis that Alan should go get a more worker-y job like postal 
carrier or better yet, steel worker, so as to be a member of the industrial 
working class, right? I'm willing to go with you that teaching art history 
at columbia is not a revolutionay endeavor, but then, no form of employment 
under capitalism is revolutionary, by definition, right? Since when are we 
looking to employment to "serve as an example for the working class"? Isn't 
it revolutionary practice that ought to be the example? Not all of us are 
lucky enough to able to be professional revolutionaries Lou.
cheers
Nate
