Hi again!
Having written my last message, I must hurry to add that I'm optimistic
about writing... writing can serve good and bad... it can be a weapon in
social power struggles (as shown by the vivid examples in the 3rd grade
writing workshop in Lensmire's book), but it can also be a way to human
connectedness... after all, didn't we come to know one another on xmca
through writing... and hopefully we could build an intellectually
stimulating and supportive community here through writing! Angel
