Good advice from Ernest Hemingway : you need BUILT IN, SHOCK PROOF, SHIT DETECTOR !

Another thought : The American ruling class in the last 50 years has succeeded in producing perhaps the most docile " intellectual class " in human history .

       All that rebellious energy of the tumultuous 60s converted into " pure jello " as my departed working class friend Ed Maguire put it : " We are in for a long period of rot , Ron " . Dear still young Ed !

       Good advice to YOU from Ernest Hemingway - even if he did not always follow it : What you ( socialist writers ) need is ..... a " built in , shock proof, shit detector "
