My apologies if I misspoke. The posting really wasn't ABOUT women
specifically, or racial minorities specifically...if it was about
anything besides me venting on a bad day, it was about how Victimology
plays right into the hands of a "shadow establishment" I believe with
all my heart is there (no, I am really not Fox Mulder; and from all I
know, yes, I benefit from having white skin), and that benefits from
people and groups withdrawing from the fight rather than participating
in it. Divide, conquer. It's as old a formula as "If you get into
trouble at home, start a foreign war." Works every time.

Back to the music?
