judith butler

[Ken Hanly]

Well this is good to hear. However Butler is a well known intellectual.
Hasnt she a responsibility to make her views known at this time.
Perhaps she has done so. Perhaps you could indicate to us where she has
expressed her views and u could repost them. I am past growing up.

Cheers, Ken Hanly
