Joan Opyr spoke thus:=20

The case being presented, re: public versus private schools, has long
since lost all semblance of argument and is now merely incantatory
utterance. If we all repeat the same things over and over again,
perhaps we'll experience the deja voodoo effect and be zombified into
agreeing with one another.

Americans love reruns. If they didn=92t pay, TV wouldn=92t run them. If
people on this list didn=92t reply, a topic would die. It=92s not just =
one
side writing, after all. Maybe somebody=92s still thinking through =
issues,
Joan. The offline discussions prompted by these rounds are very, very
surprising. The visible posts are only the tip of the iceberg. People
seem to be actually thinking and shifting in interesting ways. Shudder.
And then Joan and Melynda call for silence.=20
