It isn't hard to see how the JA could appeal to you , Barbara. Even now, you want to believe in them; so much so, that you want to believe that someone who has been handed the mantle by the very man whose notions made the JA what it is, is going to be the JA's salvation. Noel chose Mick because he shares Noel's vision.

People who naturally abdicate personal responsibility and put themselves under the authority of others are unlikely to work revolutions, however hopeful and idealistic they may be before they give up their dreams to take up someone else's.
