So glad it finally ca...Amir,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your review. So glad it finally came out. Also that it was generally positive. Snides aside. :-)<BR/><BR/>I have to say, though, that not only five years ago but even much earlier, I would not have been afraid to put in writing that I vote Opposition. You know me, I'm reckless about speaking my mind. Besides, I've always voted that way since the first time.<BR/><BR/>My name on the cover -- well, it wasn't my doing, but I think I quite deserve it. I conceptualised the whole book, I chased people for essays and got all the stuff together, I did all the editing, I did all the interviews (now, that's a lot of work -- just trying to get the appointments was no fun), I also wrote a couple of pieces. The book's got my stamp on it, so to speak. My propaganda, if you like. Or agenda. So, yeah, it's like, say, "a Ridley Scott film" with others doing the writing, acting, camerawork, editing, music, etc. Almost in the same vein. <BR/><BR/>Hey, I would have liked you to contribute something. You shoulda.<BR/><BR/>But then, this review wouldn't have happened. And I appreciate that it did.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>ChyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
