not sociological, rather scatogical.......
(invocation of deity here) Tom, how can you possibly believe <This is just one symptom of a culture that trains our children in colleges and elsewhere to believe that hatred of your own long-held values is the highest form of sophistication.>
God, what claptrap. If you are sincere, you need to go shoot yourself to end the misery. You need to get your daughter out of college and into a nunnery before she is trained as above and bites you on the ass.
You have developed optirectulitis and have a sh**ty outlook.
Stop it now, have drink, relax and start over.
Publius
