 I don't know who the remnant is. I can't, but I know that we exist. If by remnant I can refer to an author named Albert J. Nock, in reference to those who refuse to "join 'em" because we won't claim that we can't "beat 'em," or some other shared lie - perhaps many of us are the silent remnant, not yet ready to stick our necks out very far. Not willing to be counted so overtly, in public, for various reasons, not just for fear, or even concern, or self-preservation.
