I've noticed this occasionally, reading (and in this case, re-reading) something and still riding right past an item in it.(1) If he had not put that in, he would be dead on and the point would be unimpeachable. As it is, he is making, at the very least, a poorly founded claim. As to function, I think he is very right. These protests are as fruitless as antiwar protests have been. Neither was <i>pointless</i> but certainly fruitless.(2) (1) - I am only pointing it out because it is a mistake I make, and I wish I did not. Usually the item missed is insignificant... (2) - As with the antiwar protesters, I've seen some very disgusting things emerge. If these marches have accomplished anything it is to give smug, pretentious creeps like Olbermann something at which to smirk and about which to be glib while pretending to have anything that could even vaguely resemble a conscience. Those who are genuinely interested in the problem (whether they diagnose it correctly or not) might do well to heed a good maxim, 'the enemy of my enemy is <i>not</i> my friend.'

From reading that post of his, I wouldn't have guessed that envy was his motive for writing. If Tom has some insight I don't, I'd (sincerely) like to know it.
