Outer Darkness?

But in fact, he was a hard-nosed apologist for the Evil Empire.

Once the Soviet Union fell, Pozner was free from his former dominators, and he soon confessed that what he did was wrong. "What I was doing was propaganda" he admitted openly. And that's what Drake is doing.

Pozner finally made peace with the truth. Like LCers, he was driven by fear of reprisal. We can only hope the same freedom awaits the LC propagandists, for their sakes, and everyone else's.

Brother Drake is just fine with me. It's no different than relating with Southern Baptist's - my family.

And I gather news from the web, so seeing past propaganda is an unfortunate daily practice.

The only problem I have with bro Drake is that he can't open up and tell us what his thing is out here. Hanging with exLCer's might be entertaining to him ... or he could be paid for doing it.

We don't know, and he ain't telling. But lots of members find a need to hide behind anonymity.

And I think it's healthy to see from his perspective. But if I remember correctly, Lee called that being open like a trash can. So being out here bro Drake is perchance being open like a trash can.

So kudos to bro Drake.
