Come on!!! I have said NIL about TR Young's personal characteristics. I'm not beating him up...I just don't want to be "lectured" at. And his response did not indicate that he felt I was mistreating him. I am familiar with both Young and the Red Feather INst. Our interests are ironically, quite similar, I enjoy his work. Yet In his last reply he still seems to want to occupy the role of Professor/Overseer on this list. If he would abandon the lecture "talkin at us" style and rather see his viewpoint as on of many contributions than (as I've said 3 times now, at least) I welcome his contributions. Gotta Run...C-YA!! Christian p.s. Has anyone else read "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paulo Freire? If you have would you please post some of your thoughts on this peice? It might prove quite interesting.
