but I do try to elevate the level of discourse by 1) recognizing that many Stratfordians are honorable people, 2) admitting that the *worst* of the Oxfordian arguments sound like things you'd hear on the G. Gordon Liddy show and steering away from them, and C) positing that the best way to get people thinking is not to immediately hit them with Oxford (or anyone else) but to get them to look at the historical record and see for themselves the paucity of real facts we have about the Stratford guy, and why things about that record could lead intelligent people to suspect the attribution. That last is the tough part, but if you give peoeple facts and encourage them to think for themselves (and note how much of the Sh bio is built upon old supposition that has somehow solidified in people's minds), a fair share of people will eventually come down on the Oxford side. Those that don't, well -- unlike Reagan's surgeons, we can't all be Republicans.Posted by JTJ on March 26, 1997 at 11:08:37
