I would suggest that the reason for that
difference in number of
responses is that there are more people on this site who disagree with my analysis (thus eliciting a subsequent nest of exchanges between me and them) than there are that disagree with cwon's — although ironically, cwon's perspective is almost indistinguishable from mine (I could have written cwon's statement for him)-- outside of our starting
orientation towards the political dimension of the debate.
