TS has a good new piece at CounterPunch:
http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/06/09/the-clash-of-american-civilizations-two-old-friends-talk-politics/
Years ago, when my best friend was alive, we constantly argued politics. I was an idealist, the older Dick a pragmatist. We got most heated in 1968, when I refused to back Humphrey, which Dick said would elect Nixon. He was right.
And now, 50 years later, I find myself ranting at idealists just like Dick ranted at me.
