why is it we can all see this blokes talking a load of crap and the publisher and the media whores who publicise this crap can't see it?

Have you considered the possiblity that you have as awful a class system in the USA as we have over in England?

If this was some thick arsehole in a pub with fifteen pints inside him talking this bollocks - you'd move out of his way. Because he has the all the tags of intellectual respectability - he sneaks in below the bullshit radar, drops his pants, unloads the incendiary crap and produces a media firestorm.

I blame Guy Gibson.
