Which wit was it..? who observed something like this...

"The only really good thing about the Liberation theology people and the
Christian Marxists was that to a limited extent they were Marxists"

I am not saying I enirely agree with this but it made me laugh. Like I know
what he/she means :)

Hi, Dick,

My first full-time position, a leave replacement, was at a Dominican college
in the Northeastern U.S. The students were, as a whole considerably more
progressive than the faculty. Where I am now, in the Midwest, the reverse is
true. We have five full-time sociologists. Almost all of us are Marxists or
neo-Marxists, while the students tend to be quite conservative and
traditional.

However, I belong to the major interfaith organization in the Kansas City
area. As one might expect, most of the active members are progressive. A few
are radical. It has turned out to be a superb opportunity to find "common
cause" with a number of local religious leaders.
