Why don't you tell us why you think this article was so "enlightened"? (Although, I'm sure what you meant to say, Doc, was that it was enlightening"; for this would have been the proper term to use.)

There are political "think tanks" of many different flavors.

The will of the American people would be best served if the criminal elite of these cesspools were confronted and defeated.Right or Left, they basically spread incoherent, reactionary nonsense that substitutes for political information. These groups are akin to an incurable disease.

Where is Dr.Jack Kevorkian when we need him ?

The person who wrote the piece may have been "enlightened". You, too, may have been "enlightened" after reading the piece. People are enlightened or ignorant; but the things they write are not. Those things are considered enlightening because the was was enlightened rather than ignorant.

Meanwhile, you ducked the main question, as usual. Why did you THINK the piece was enlightening? (And "think" is the operative term here, which is precisely why you ducked the question.)
