[MD] The MoQ and Politics?

[Ian Glendinning]

Hi John, (DMB mentioned) sorry for the rebuke, glad you took the point

To the content ....

Absolutely .... Examples of (our) individual behaviours.

Fortunately, we are (can be) more sophisticated socio-intellectual
organisms than that monkey, faced with simple "monkey see, monkey do"
options in life, despite DMB's reductionist take on ideological
choices.

Regards
Ian
