It's a product of the same uniquely leftist malaise whereby some of our comrades think it's terribly important for them (and us) to have the right "position" on any number of things over which they (and we) can take no meaningful action and have no practical influence. Paradoxically (or perhaps not), people with the least actual influence over a situation tend to attach the greatest importance to their own thoughts and feelings about it. Out in the real world, nobody gives a %$&#. It's what you do, in a way that actually accomplishes something, that counts there. -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað."
