      Dear Wil,

      My, these are big issues aren't they? I certainly won't demand
      discussion with anybody about anything. I'm sorry if you feel that my
      views aren't open to discussion. I benefit a lot from our discussions
      here.

      If Marx has a theory about the truth content of "ideologies," and how
      to extract that content, I'd be interested to hear about it.

      Best, Bob
