yes. thank you. excellent piece! it's my beef, too -- and, shoot, why yes, i've seen a violent bigot up close and personal all irrational an' stuph. i almost said something but what made me laff more was that the term was dropped on top of a claim that suggested a kind of transhistoricality to a psychological phenom spanning, at least, two different cultures - and was justified by gesture at Foucault of all theorists.
