Those seeking a succint summary of David's position(s) need search no
farther than the ad on the back cover of this month's Mojo. A photo of the
new Seat Leon is headed with the words:
It's. Not. Natural. For. Power. To. Pause.
So, there you go (as opposed to Yugo)
With respect
Craig

>>> of
>>> neo-liberalist market ideology: for instance, language reflects and

>>> service provision. Another example is that the public discourse of
>>> individual rights has gradually been overshadowing the discourse of
