<br><font size=3>Jason - please do not try to dissuade me from my mission.
I am the Cultural Terminator. I (and many others) have been annointed by
Mr Bolt. Ask yourself how many weirdo foreigners get their novels published
in English. Havent a few of these weirdos even won the Booker Prize? Have
you understood nothing about the scourge of political correctness? <br>
<br>
Please try to understand the crisis neoconservative commentators are struggling
alert us to. And be a little bit more sensitive to their marginalised position.
What's their platform? Sure they pretty much dominate the opinion pages
of the Australian, the Sydney Morning Herald, every Murdoch paper in Australia,
and commercial talkback radio and a lot of television by default. But how
often do they get invited to give a lecture to undergraduates in cultural
studies? So please stop your elitist carping. So this Xmas, give a little
thought to how lonely it must be out there on the margins for neo-conservatives.
Crochet them something nice. <br>

is there not a relevant distinction to be made between Western Culture
and (human) civilisation? The former seems to hate itself well enough already,
but I'm all for the latter. Please don't end it Catharine. <br>
