Ah, Barry, I was lying in wait for you, so to speak. I got in an argument at a party last night with a liberal (yes, we do have them in Texas) who said that all fantasy was merely denying the reality of the social situation, and that no true liberal aprreciated such escapist crap. (not his word) I, of course, immediately thought of
you, so I said that I personally knew several leftists that really enjoyed fantasy, and that I didn't think that it was something that should be politicized. Well he went on and on until I walked away, but I thought you might like to respond, and I shall quote you the next time that I see him.
