Contrare, mon petit americane, those explanations and "simple summaries"
would require great courage and an able pen and mind and most important of
all, a large heart. Buck up, not everyone is able to "Go over the Top.",
we'll see you when we get back and I will bring the promised beer.

Daniel cuts and pastes:

"...and not only because I think it has long been
politically and historically dangerous."
John

"That is what much of writing is, dangerous, it is not for the timid."
Daniel

Unfortunately, Daniel, the "it" in the sentence I wrote which you cite
did not refer specifically to "writing," so your comment is irrelevant.

The "it" referred to the desire for one-sentence explanations and an
approach to complex concepts through dictionary definitions and simple
summaries.

All the best,

--John
