Re: Edward Said - American Zionism (3)

Richard, Richard, Richard --

I actually agree with you on so many issues, much more than I agree with
most people on various e-mail networks. Your analysis is often quite subtle
and valuable. Our only serious disagreement, and it is serious, has to do
with the way I believe you attribute far too much to "genetics" (and you
base it on dubious anthropological logic rather than biology) when you are
attempting to explain human social and  political behavior.

But you seriously undermine the seriousness of your own messages when you
engage in cute name-calling with no substantive explanation, as you did
below, and then send that "cute" message out to a whole list of people who
have NO idea what you are talking about.  Keep it substantive, Richard.

Cordially,

Alan Spector (with apologies to the rest of the list who had to read both
his personalistic comment and this reply. I'll keep future replies of this
sort private.)
