Oh, of course, no one's life is worth shit unless they've cut their teeth on bullshit activism. The fact that Hitchens is a witty, well-read, engaging writer shouldn't matter at all, right?
Thanks for helping me sort out my position on Hitchens/Blumenthal anyway, Ken. Before, I was somewhat ambiguous. But your diatribe has convinced me of Hitchy-poo's greatness.
