I hope, Peter Bi, that we all enjoy reading Pound and reading Confucius.  I
do.  I hope that we also enjoy reading the Tao Te Ching, Das Kapital, Locke,
Rousseau, and the US Constitution.  I do.   As to whether reading Pound is
more or less enjoyable than being crazy about Communism or crazy about
democracy --- that is not a choice we have to make, is it?  Communists,
Fascists, and democrats may all enjoy reading Pound and reading Confucius.
But they no one must agree with all the contents contained in such works.
