Posted by Nicholas at March 13, 2009 02:18 PMIt is a deformity in some 'radicals' to imagine that, once they have found the lowest or meanest motive for an action or for a person, they have correctly identified the 'authentic' or 'real' one. Many a purge or show trial has got merrily under way in this manner.
