I almost saluted the flag as I read this. **sniff**
Shorter Betty: Do as you're told by your betters and don't get uppity.
It's like Paglia used you for a model for her column.
I've met Paglia. Friends have attended her "classes". She's a phony,
even more than Ayn Rand--at least Rand believed some of what she wrote
[but didn't follow], while Paglia writes something to see how many
people get excited and give her the attention she doesn't deserve. If
you believe that she's accurate, you're more gullible than I thought.
Camille sez, "...This Salon column is my sole Web presence..." Thank
goodness.
Just because many of us actually think about issues, analyzing details,
and acting on the results, that doesn't mean we're sheeple. But to
Libertarians, all who aren't like them are sheeple. They want to do what
they want to do, when they want to do it, how they want to do it,
disregarding all others, until they get sick or lose their jobs or homes
and need help. Even the churches and NGO nonprofits get some of their
precious money from the feds in the taxes they don't pay and the grants
from local/state/federal agencies.
Why do you fear the government? Because you've chosen to avoid it and
not participate, letting others make decisions for you? Were you drafted
to go to war? Have you ever testified at gummint hearings? Campaigned?
