#1 Hardly news here. All 'progressives' (a term I detest) are social (and historical) determinists precisely because they crave certainty of outcome. They are pathologically averse to anything genuinely new.

#2 Yeah, that's why I call them "regressivists." They're all Miniver Cheevy wannabes, going right back to Marx.

Even obvious things need to be articulated well, especially when too many people profess to see invisible clothes.

#3 Oh that's a *good* article - it's almost like the old Kirk 'confuse the robot with a paradox and watch it pop it's clogs' ploy....

#4 They're also blue-noses that make the Pilgrims look like libertines. Sure, they don't care how you reach an orgasm, but just *try* to light up a cigarette, enjoy the wrong movies, or the wrong books.
