Ms. Trahn,

I suggest that you should post your letters publicly to the list 
instead of sending personal email. I have an odd feeling that we may 
have met before. Before we embark on such heavy subjects as the 
relation between "mechanical causality" and "dialectical process" or 
the "highly developed synthesis" which you say I have developed (I 
absolutely deny this grand achievement), perhaps you can enlighten 
the list as to what kind of work your 
"Vietnam/USA/Friensdship/Coalitiom" is currently engaged in. That is, 
what kind of 'friendship' or 'coalition' are you building?  Things 
will become much clear after that.

Sid
