Eric,

I don't know for sure and hesitate to intrude here, but I think you might be misinterpreting Erin's post. I think you think she was in some way criticizing your politics. From what I've gleaned of Erin's interests, politics barely crosses the threshold of her awareness. When it does, it only bores her to tears. Pity, really, but them's the cards what's been laid. Erin was, I surmise, gibing you for being so behind the times and only NOW discovering Strindberg and Helium which she had posted to the List at least two years ago, if not twenty. I could be wrong. But having tried to engage Erin in political debates in the past, I'm willing to wager that I'm right for a change. Any bets?

Erin: My dear, sweet Eric, Where oh WHERE have you been?!

"To Lucasta, going to the Wars"
TELL me not, Sweet, I am unkind, That from the nunnery Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind To war and arms I fly. True, a new mistress now I chase, The first foe in the field; And with a stronger faith embrace A sword, a horse, a shield. Yet this inconstancy is such As thou too shalt adore; I could not love thee, Dear, so much, Loved I not Honour more.
