I was going to say don't worry about progressives as we are well-read, but then I thought that, perhaps, we too, read only the material that supports our theories. Perhaps you have a point.

So, will Apple forgo 5% of its cash accumulation? A 60% profit margin is really excessive! I will follow-up on the petition.

Given today's atmosphere in our political world it the chances of a neo-con or a Republican by any other stripe endorsing Obama are somewhere 'between slim and none. And slim left town,' as the old saying goes! Thanks for a wide ranging, insightful, and funny piece of writing.

Would that your vision and analysis of Republicans and conservatives are true, but then we'll have to await the election results in November, seems to me. Living in the bubble that I do, I admit that I have no idea what conservatives are reading these days, and the media coverage really reveals very little other than the usual sound bites. It's even more about polls and "horse races" than in the past. What are progressives reading? Anything nearly as stimulating and mind-expanding? Again, Katya, and ACT editors, this piece really deserves a wider audience. Not only provocative, but evocative and fascinating!
