Lee,
thanks for the citation on the previous discussion of Gatto. Let me
quote you but be warned I intend to change your order of presentation: "I
could be wrong. And I wouldn't mind re-examining Gatto's theses. Michael
Wiik posted an URL to Gatto's book. It all sounded a little like "conspiracy
theory" talk to me, that is, with rather vague over-generalizations, and
identifications of themes and links that are more speculative than factual,
and which also seem to defy the wisdom in "Never attribute to malice what may
simply be stupidity..." and so on.
Gatto recognizes that his material sometimes sounds like conspiracy
theory. But, he is also saying that we do not require a conspiracy when a
group of people with the same biases will serve just as well. He believes he
is dealing with people having the same biases not conspirators at all.
I will read the citation you offered.
Ron h.
