crap nathan. pure, unadulterated crap. i expect impure crap from this list, typically. it's not a language game. what you type reeks of the notion that there is some set of "pure" working class interests divorced from those of gender and race. and, in doing so, you reinscribe the stereotypes of the working class and the assumption that somehow they don't, for example, benefit from, say, affirmative action policies.

i recognize that. however, that you recognize it and that you use the same rhetoric in your return serve anyway, in some sort of game whereby each side shames the other side, is nonsense.
like i said, i expect new improved buy one get one free impure crap from this list.
