Lines: 15 Re Bill Price's followup: I can believe the 9 "tenets" of what gov't tries to inculcate in the young came "boiling off the top of my [Bill Price's] head": they sound like the ravings of a lunatic! Was the posting facetious, or does Mr. Price actually mean to make his claims seriously? Some of the "tenets" are so utterly divorced from simple reality that they quite literally fit Richard Hofstadter's label "the paranoid style in politics" and eerily resemble schizophrenic delusions. The threat of being considered insane apparently no longer acts to inhibit political expression in this country. "Curiouser and curiouser...." Ron Rizzo
