You haven't yet said HOW you found this obscure blog-- and why of all the lit-blogs in the world you comment here. It's also a fact that most of your posts are defenses of the McSweeney's crowd.<BR/>You also haven't named a single Oakland poet you've claimed has problems with me and the ULA. (I met a west coast poet recently who's very familiar with that scene. He seems to love what the ULA is doing. I'll be discussing his chapbook upcoming.)<BR/>Regarding the point you made. You still don't get what I'm talking about.<BR/>What have I said? "Clean up your own backyard." It's ridiculous, when America is still itself drowning in enormous problems, that the most affluent of us are suddenly rushing overseas to solve problems there.<BR/>Uh, isn't how this country got into its present dilemmas to begin with?<BR/>We naively believe we can fix the world-- and in trying to, usually end up making things worse, as witness the fiasco in Iraq.<BR/>I applaud the Dave's literacy efforts in San Fran and elsewhere-- but why is everything he does accompanied by a big sign reading "Look at Me!"<BR/>Is it allowed to criticize the guy? That's all I'm doing. Free speech. He'd better learn how to deal with it.
