ACFC has a good foundation. I'm sure Stephen is sincere in thanking those who were running things before this. Stephen was on the board for some years, while at the same time doing his own thing to discuss the issues in front of the greater public. Re: the "rhetorical bombs," he recently wrote an article about that : The Anti-Father Police State

Baskerville: Actually, it is not my positions that are extreme but my "rhetoric" – specifically, the words I use to describe how government is systematically destroying families and fathers.

I've arrived at the same place. In fact, I was throwing a few bombs around in here last night. It's the only way to get the center to move.

John Knight and I used to talk about positioning advocates along a continuum. There are some old web sites still out there in which I am Mr. Reasonable. That was done on purpose, as a way of selling the same thing that Knight was selling, but in different packaging to different people. Ten years ago, what Baskerville wrote in that article on MND would only have been seen in one of those xeroxed newsletters that got mailed around to a membership of 36 angry white guys. I suppose in some sense there has been progress. Not enough, though. I think it's fair to say that things are still getting worse in the U.S.
