Such letters have been urged upon me by the ACLU, Social Security protection groups, pro-choice organizations, anti-war organizations, etc., etc. It's convenient and economical of busy people's time, most of which is spent trying to make ends meet. No one must use them; but they are, nonetheless, a tool used by all sides of the political spectrum. Better those, perhaps, than nothing.

Yes. Moreover, what Dobkin is urging is that no one who didn't earn an A
in freshman comp has a right to a poitical opinion. He is peddling
elitist horseshit. (And this is the first time in 37 years of left
political involvement that I have ever used the word "elitist."

But Dobkin really fits that category. For him, politics are not about
changing the world but merely expressing one's own moral and
intellectual righteousness.
