I thing that Jed is off base in his understanding of the audience dynamics involved. It seems to me that Mills theory is more like a religion whose recitation of its doctrinaire is very pleasurable to the Church audience.
Consider the hours long religious services conducted in the large megachurches. A *megachurch* is a Protestant church having 2,000 or more people in average weekend attendance. Such services provide a spiritual uplifting to all who attend and the congregation is well pleased after the service. Contribution to the maintenance and evangelization of the church is substantial and the church prospers.
