BIG FREAKIN DEAL!  What is he doing with all that passion?
Writing a book or an article or even a letter to the editor?  Lobbying
congress?  chaining himself to a chairlift?  No!  He contents himself
by making himself a pain in the ass and MacKaye a joke on this list.
How is that helpful???? I actually GOL (groaned out loud) when I got
back and logged in to see these circle jerks still continuing.  Jeeze,
I even care about this stuff but it's getting to the point the sight of
Mackaye's name will soon bring on an automatic gag reflex.
BTW...I took MacKaye with me and got no farther than 30 pages before
I put it down.  I assumed he was trying to make a point but sheeeesh.
Maybe I have lost the art of wading thru textbooks but this guy moseys
around a point worse than Rooty does.
