- The wonderful thing about listening to thEwIndBag is that you can tune in
- at any time, for any period of time and get *something* that will make you
- wonder if his elevator goes all the way to the top floor.
-
- For example, Tuesday I caught just a snippet of his act wherein he repeated
- his oft-spoken belief that people should not cluster in groups to demand
- that rights (his words, mine would be 'equality of rights') be accorded
- those groups. thEwIndBag's contention is that people should remain as
- individuals and succeed or fail through individual efforts.
-
- Ahem.
-
- This is exactly what one would expect from a white male, someone who has to
- have described to him what it's like to be discriminated against *as a
- group,* else he'd never have a clue. The reason for folks to band together
- by gender, or by color, or by sexual orientation to ask for equality of
- rights is precisely because they are denied that equality simply on the
- basis of those things that bring them together as a group.
-
- One would only expect a white male like thEwIndBag to encourge people not
- to band together to cure what they see as injustice against them. Simply
- because he knows that, as individuals, they are as powerless as they ever
- were and that only by working together can they ever hope to right some of
- society's injustices toward them.
