[lbo-talk] Ward Churchill responds to U. of Colorado investigation]

Many are (do a Google search on the phrase "badge
bunnies"), but power worship is a huge problem in our
society generally. It spills over into sexuality just
as it's prevalent in the political and economic
arenas. Folks are basically programmed to be slavishly
worshipful of power, whether they're male or female.
They fetishize it and are attracted to it. And as
George Orwell noted in an excellent essay Doug
forwarded to the list recently, "Power worship is not
fully separable from cowardice."
