    The kind of job I'd actually look forward to getting up in the morning
    to do! And that's saying something at my age.

    It would be cool to get into the detonator business.

    Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad wrote a novel called The Secret
    Agent in which one of the chief protagonists is an Anarchist/Communist
    agitator who's in the quest to develop a so-called "perfect detonator"
    for the bombs he plans to hand out to whoever's dumb enough to throw
    or plant them in the cause of sweeping aside the hated Capitalist
    system and ushering in a Commie utopia and 'government by the
    Proletariat' in Edwardian Britain. Kind of reminded me of Bill Sloman
    or Bitrex.

    Of course it would.

    In reality the Anarcho-Syndicalists Conrad was writing about were
    utterly opposed to the communists.

    https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/801264-if-you-took-the-most-ardent-revolutionary-vested-him-in

    was aimed at Karl Marx and his demented ideas about "the leading role of
    the party".

    They wanted political control to be local, and started the Co-operative Movement. The psychopaths who liked building bombs and blowing people up
    - like Stalin - weren't too particular about the ideology they
    supported. You suffer from the same ignorance.

    I have a relative who blows things up at Sandia. He says it's no fun
    because he doesn't get to see the booms... he only gets the data.

    He has a PhD in Engineering Mechanics. He is highly offended if anyone
    calls him a mechanical engineer.

    We had a house guest, the dean of a biggish computer science school.
    She was highly offended when I asked her what sorts of computer
    languages they teach these days.

    Gotta be careful about this sort of thing, Dr Hobbs.

    Dear Abby:

    An old pal of mine has started yanking my chain by calling me doctor.

    How do I tell him that it's only in my sig for the advertising value?

    Anarcho-syndicalists weren't Communists, and Cursitor Doom and John
    Larkin are too pig-ignorant to know this.

    was aimed at Karl Marx and his demented ideas about "the leading role of

    Mikhail Bukanin was an Anarcho-Sydnicalist, who thought the all politics
    should be local - the cooperative movement is based on his insight. It's
    based on the idea that people don't know much about stuff where they
    don't have direct contact with it.

    You are advertising that you were dumb enough to act as highly skilled
    grunt labour for your supervisor at a very low rate of pay, compensated
    only by the academic qualification which you got before you ran out of gullibility?

    I managed to learn enough about electronics while doing mine to qualify
    for tolerably well paid jobs after I'd got the degree, but it probably
    wasn't a cost-effective exercise.
