I have been doing a self analysis of why i have such intense feelings oppositional to Tom HAYDEN.
I realize the Tom HAYDEN that some cruelly called Tom "can i have another drink" HAYDEN for years did since make the most excellent step to sobriety and this is really what has been behind his re-emergence, and i need evaluate him in another light now.
And also recognize i am a "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" type, and have a strong affinity to firebrandness of a Tom Paine nature( who if truth be told the last years of his life was that of a broken man drinking 24/7 an alcoholic in the most extreme of complete degradation---5 people attended his funeral in Schenectedy ,N.Y.--he would not have had land and house to live in if not for his last friend, Thomas Jefferson).
HAYDEN has never written in that manner, i would be much happier with him if he could write a Emile Zola like J'Accuse and have him give it to someone with orative abilities to render it.
And i still stand against his 'we can change the system from within' as i have NEVER believed this and it reveals for myself a non-recognition of what the realities are.
yada yada yada---later.>>
