Wei,
    I know in the East a favorite saying is "The nail which stands up gets
driven down." And for the running of a smooth society it probably has its
usefulness. But, frankly, I don't like it. And would say that those nails
which stand up may have a far-sighted vision which is incapable of those
level ones around them. Afterall, "the artists are the antenae of the race."
If we Pound them all down we do ourselves a great disservice.
    That Monty Python "stick" is an old chestnut. The way I heard it many
years ago before Monty goes something like this;
    "The socialist is haranguing the crowd. He bellows, "After the
revolution we'll all eat steak and mushrooms".
    A fellow in the back of the crowd meekly speaks up, "But I don't like
mushrooms."
    The Socialist now worked up to a fever pitch answers, "After the
revolution we'll all eat steak and mushrooms, and we'll like steak and
mushrooms."
    I am trying to get to a workable definition of anti-semitism because I
also see something "squishy" about the term. There is a difference between
Pound's assessment of Jews and an unquestionable anti-semitic racist theory
like Rosenberg's. But the question of usury is always lurking about. And
this is the reason I included his statement in my posting. Rosenberg would
have been entirely  incapable of writing the Pound letter which represents
more than talk but definite action and sympathy in favor of a Jew. You want
to erase these examples so your preconceived thesis will not be questioned,
and in this sense you also miss Nietzche's point. In the name of "equality"
you want to be more than equal; you wish your thoughts to reign supreme, a
mushroom lover. i am sure others could see this in the Nietzche selection,
but you can not because you are so throughly one of the tarantulas he
describes.
    It infuriates you that I and others will not pass the same judgment on
Pound that you do. You sound at times like a raving fanatic who wants to
lead a lynch-mob in the name of some righteous cause. Perhaps this is why
you are angered by those whose vision reaches beyond your own and the
"collective"  for which you think you qualify as spokesman. Do you go to bed
with Doob under your pillow as Alexander did with his copy of the "Illiad"
so upon rising first thing in the morning you can look up another
anti-semitic quote from Saint Ezra to get you through the day?
    But in answer to your impertinent question, En Lin Wei, yes I have read
enough of the Radio Broadcasts to know what they say, but I also am aware
that Pound admitted that he had succumbed to the  "suburban prejudice of
anti-semitism". Does that count as anything to you? Or are you dragging your
own red herring through these discourses?

p.s. History proves that "individual talents" as you concede there are,
flourish in all sorts of environments and conditions sometimes even best in
the worst precisely because they are "free" from dogma and have COURAGE. The
Muse certainly of all spirits does not abandon her own under adverse
cicumstances. Look at the great poetry Ezra Pound wrote in a monkey cage.
