Alan manages to put up with us because he's just as much an individualist as
each of us is. After all he's an ex-anarcho-syndicalist! The most
encouraging thing is not that we're all still friends, but that we're all
BETTER  friends now than before. It's clear that a good fight clears the
air, the Irish have made this their "Secret Doctrine" for ages! Even the
folks who are dicombobulated by us (and Jerry too)are, in the long run,
going to realize that having to defend their beliefs actually makes thenm
think about them, and will either result in stronger beliefs or none at all!
And please Chuck, I am a Mad Russian Artist, it makes a considerable
difference in degree of madness!
