The most seductive aspect of this area of research is that it would be
easy to fall into the intellectual trap imposed by the framework of
the metaphor.  The descent toward paranoia is equally seductive, in
that the literature can be quite readily demonstrated to be found in
the most unlikely places.  Indeed, it can be demonstrated that it is
to be found everywhere one looks.  Yet, just as a book by Marx is to
be found in virtually every public and school library, it does not
naturally follow that Marxist philosophy is all pervasive.
A book on a shelf, unread, is but bound paper.  The hundreds, nay,
thousands, of such documents scattered about are equally impotent, if
they remain unread.  The question is one of accurately gauging the
true extent of their influence.  While I can readily demonstrate that
the literature is all pervasive, an equally compelling argument can be
made such that a social worker, once in the "real world" of the work
field, renders as academic most that which was assimilated during the
educational stages of his/her career, albeit the extent to which
workers may be continuously indoctrinated by such literature during
ongoing training sessions has yet to be addressed.
I direct your attention to the following series of messages, which
together constitute but one such document, herein displayed as
representative sample from among the approximately one hundred I have
recently obtained.  I would welcome your opinion with regard to its
applicability as a representative sample within the framework of your
model.
