There must be somthing true in it, That's ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with criticizing James for what he actually does, or fails to do, but widespread grumbling proves nothing in and of itself. No, there need not be anything true in it. If you hang around the right political conservatives in the U.S., you'll hear widespread grumbling (and worse), that failure to ram the Ten Commandments down everyone's throat, and engage in convocational prayers to the Christian God at every gathering of more than 3 people will inexorably lead to the destruction of Western Civilization. (Robert Bork called it "slouching towards Gamorrah", and wrote a book with that title spewing this sort of drivel). But these political conservatives, as in so many other things, are full of shit. Therefore, widespread grumbling doesn't make something true. At best it means the subject deserves closer scrutiny to see what people are really grumbling about, and why. If you don't like the way someone is doing something, have the decency to cite specific examples. If they're really making a lot of mistakes, this should not require much time to research. -- G.
