Jesus F. Christ, I'm so tired of how the word "privilege" is thrown 
around by these P.C. leftists to demonize those who disagree with them. 
"Privilege" is the new P.C. Maybe we should talk about Stan Goff's 
"privilege" when he shops at the store or eats at some restaurant. I 
know that I have some privilege as a white guy. So what? I'm also a very 
poor white guy, a white guy with an activist past that kind of 
neutralizes most of my privileges. And how about the "privilege" that 
all American leftists enjoy when the pontificate about porn as they use 
computers manufactured by people who have a lot less than us.

You want to see privilege? Let me show Goff my brother-in-law's car 
collection.
