However, to the extent that a leftist sees the world in terms of socioeconomic classes, he is likely operating out of unconscious logic. <BR/><BR/>Likewise, the fact that the US is the one country that cares less about class than any other, accounts for its maturity. The left always wants us to see the world in terms of classes and groups, but most Americans don't fall for it. <BR/><BR/>Yet.Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14249005793605006679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-38172726029989991122007-09-23T19:30:00.000-07:002007-09-23T19:30:00.000-07:00Good read: The Povery of Lberalism, by Roger Kimb...Good read: <A HREF="http://newcriterion.com:81/weblog/2007/09/poverty-of-liberalism.html" REL="nofollow">The Povery of Lberalism</A>, by Roger Kimball.Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14249005793605006679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1972588926047723812007-09-23T16:50:00.000-07:002007-09-23T16:50:00.000-07:00"The unconscious doesn't relate to individuals, bu..."The unconscious doesn't relate to individuals, but to classes.

I used to get that sometimes, too. The first time was when I came down with some kind of horrid stomach flu when I was about 7 or 8. It was a strange combination of feeling spinny-dizzy and also e-x-p-a-n-d-i-n-g. Reading your comment from yesterday brought it back, to a small degree, though these days I find it to be more of a curiosity than anything.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-74049823681857017022007-09-23T10:09:00.000-07:002007-09-23T10:09:00.000-07:00"A young adult will often embrace leftism as a for..."A young adult will often embrace leftism as a form of pseudo-maturity.
