Have been a fan of Robert Reich's since I was a kid and read 'Tales of a New America,' in which he convinced that America's cowboy mythos and gunfighter self-image were going to flame the country out. <BR/><BR/>And on a trivia note, my mom used to be his baby-sitter.MarcLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036432624426967890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-70631180584060874182008-12-19T13:04:00.000-08:002008-12-19T13:04:00.000-08:00Iz,That's what I loved about the anecdote, how pet...Iz,<BR/><BR/>That's what I loved about the anecdote, how petty, how kinked, how horrifyingly real.
