Your God is obviously the God of cynicism

I prefer to think of myself as a disillusioned romantic. :-)

I wish people would argue against points instead of trying to stuff the speaker into some category. I can't believe that's its that hard to differentiate between an empirical description of how things are--how the various power structures operate--and the teleological--how we believe things should operate. Based on how things are and how they operate, I'd rather have a slimy, untrustworthy dupe of the unions, and the legal and entertainment industries than a race-baiting, homophobic, dupe of the Christian right and military contractors. The End.

As far as what I believe should be, well, who really cares what my vision of Utopia is? I barely do.
