Wow, Mike, that was an choleric response.* It's just an essay about a guy changing his mind. You'd enjoy the full-text version, which has more literary examples of mind changing. Mailer on Godot is funny.
You are as surprising as you are passionate. I thought you'd pounce on this paragraph:
"Bush got us into Iraq, JFK into Vietnam. Bush stole the election in Florida; Kennedy stole his in Chicago. Bush outed a CIA agent; Kennedy left hundreds of them to die in the surf at the Bay of Pigs. Bush lied about his military service; Kennedy accepted a Pulitzer Prize for a book written by Ted Sorenson. Bush was in bed with the Saudis, Kennedy with the Mafia. Oh."Instead you chose to engage his "free-market" stuff. Poetry ... I too dislike it.
Best to all, Eric ____ *Reacting to Mamet, Mike cites, "greed ... hate(d) ... wallow in his justification of injustice ... neon screaming stretches of the coin-op culture ... them who can stand the stink kiss the asses of country clubbers."
Describing his preferences, Mike writes, "I prefer to work towards a just society. ... I prefer to dance with the winos."
