Unless you're south of the equator, then yes, we are in different hemispheres. But I won't hold that against you. ;-)

No, I'm standing on the sidewalk outside, warning people not to go in. Natasha had some interesting things to say and, I think, has a degree of political intuition, although even she is far too bookish to contribute meaningfully to any serious mass movement. But otherwise, I thought it was a completely academic exercise: more interesting as a crucible of group-inflected interpersonal dysfunction than as anything else.

This would be a good sound bite if it contained any truth at all. Sadly, there are lots of things worse than unemployment. Getting raped, just for instance.
