[lbo-talk] Post Marxist Era

[Robert Wrubel]

God gave Freud daughters so that he could pursue his
intellectual work without having to worry about any
oedipal male rivals.  God messed up in the case of
Mohammed, since ignorance of women is one of the
weaknesses of Islam.  As for Henry VIII, he merely
exemplifies the problem common to all members of the
ruling class -- their offspring tend to be idiots.
