high numbers of blacks in prison...

[Wojtek Sokolowski]

That something is analytically separable does not mean it is autonomous.
"Culture" meaning a set of norms, values, beliefs, expectations etc. is
both a product of and a factor affecting soocial instiutions.  Whether
it is A'tonomous" is academic hair splitting.  The point I tried to make
was that some people follow the party line so rigidly that they reject a
mighty good explanation and veer toward nonsense which they would oppose
under any other circumstances.

 
However, I have a more pressing issue to ponder.

 
Some time ago I switched (not voluntarily) to Outlook which seems to
make a lot of decisions for me - which drives me on the wall.  It feels
like an arrogant computer programmer coming to my house and telling me
"let me show you a better way of arranging y our furniture"  One of
these things is that soemtimes Outlook copies emails to which I am
replying to as text preceded with the > characters, and sometimes as a
formatted text precedeb by blue lines (such as this one).  The problem
with the latter is that it does not allow be to edit the text to which I
am replying and place my responses after that text.

 
Can anyone on this list tell me how I can swtich all the fucking
defaults that Micro$soft packed into their idiotic Outlook and have just
plain text - no talking paper clips, no auto formats, no windows popping
up to "help" me, no fucking nothing, just plain text please.

 
BTW. Ted Kaczynski is my hero.

 
Thank you

How is that different from cultural?

For some people, it's different, for others, cultural is an extension of
socioeconomic conditioning or contextualization.  I believe the latter.
Some believe culture is autonomous (eg, Stuart Hall).
