I love it!  It's *VERY* important, when you want to screw over a whole class
of people, to be able to condemn the innocent along with the guilty.  David
London's exercise in sophistry is a masterful way of arriving at a plausible
excuse.

As a man, I'm guilty of the crimes of other men -- not because of *MY*
actions or *MY* beliefs, but because *OTHER PEOPLE* treat me in a particular
way!

Since I can't control "society's" attitudes towards men, there is no escape.
No redemption for me -- it's sackcloth and ashes time, folks, because I was
born white and male.  

*OH, THE SHAME OF IT ALL!!!!*

David, you're a bigot, but I salute you -- you're a very inventive bigot.
