Grrrr! I'm REALLY angry NOW! I'm a RAGING HAIRY...

Oops, I'm on! Ahem, well, er, ah....


Seriously, I would like to comment on the general idea "we are ALL guilty"
for whatever you like, say discrimination against women. Interesting
parallel with the idea of original sin, hmmm? Personally, I find it
ridiculous on the face of it. But to the point...

The flip side of this philosophy is the angry person who says, "You're
ALL guilty, therefore it doesn't matter who I bash, I'm striking a blow
for women's equality (or whatever)." Whether we are all guilty or not is
of no consequence. What is is that certain people have much more power to
further this discrimination that others, and they are the ones who should 
feel the pressure (Ronald Reagan, for example). Not surprisingly, they are
also the ones who are most able to resist pressure, because of their power.
So usually the little person feels the brunt of the anger from the "ALL
guilty" school. As I said, ridiculous...
