Subject: M-I: Buffalo Balls (Last Post)


1) Dave B (politely) and myself (less politely) have several times asked
the herd to develop the ideas of Marx with the correct dialectical approach
they claim to represent. Far from even attempting this, they haven't even
acknowledged our requests/challenges.

2) They don't know who they're talking to, or what they're talking about.
They have as much relation to the real world of class struggle as Hare
Krishna dancing at a shopping centre -- only they're aggressive with it and
probably lousy cooks into the bargain.

3) As for innocents being tarred with the same buffalo brush, this is no
problem. It must be hard for ordinary folks living in Auschwitz who had
nothing to do with the concentration camp, or stockbrokers in Frankfurt who
wanted to blow up the Frankfurt School. You'll just have to come up with
something more notorious to obliterate the stigma.

4) It's so much the fashion to apologize these days (with even Bob M
apologizing to Louis P, mirabile dictu!) that I must say I'm sorry, too --
for not going after the pretentious diversionary bilge emanating from the
Collective even faster and even harder.

5) As I mentioned before, it's a real sign of the weakness of this list --
that I hope it will grow out of -- that so much of its energy has been
diverted by these red herrings (just shows what gene manipulation can do,
eh? Shoals of horned furry sprats!).

6) The humourless herd obviously hasn't read any of the polemical stuff by
Marx I referred them to. What's good enough for him is good enough for me.

And on that note, the only place for the balls we've been treated too
(apart from fried on a silver platter for breakfast) is in a Buffalo
scrotum. It's almost a compliment -- bull ejaculations per day are
numberless as the sands of the desert -- as we've seen...

Cheers,

Hugh
