The first thing I noted was the flat language. This is writing? This is communicating?

The second thing I noted was that only past prestige and momentum keeps a once great paper going. The decline, and eventual fall, cannot be far distant.

The Herald Tribune is dead and why does the NYT think it is something really special?

THe third thing I noticed is the total surrender of style to PCdom. Gender benders I have seen, of course, but these are just cosmic 'foooskers'. A 'foosker' is someone who is not quite straight, someone who is crooked or hiding under a false appearance. A eunuch on a cocktail of testosterone for example posing as a potential husband is a 'foosker'. A marriage with such a person could be annulled realtively easily. Conversely, one can DRESS and ACT or even through some legal subterfuge PRETEND TO BE A "TRANSGENDER" person -I think that is the phrase. But such people are just cosmic fooskers like Ward "Uncas" Churchill.

Just for the record. As the growing number of Affirmative Action categories have proved, group diversity breeds more diversity out of a desire for recognition and advantage, of course.

I have my own pride of name, my languages, my faith, my history. I carry a name given to me by the State but I know I have other names but that they all are the same. I have a citizenship too and a gender and I want no other. Variety is the spice of life but too much spice gives one indigestion. And yes, I try not to be a 'foosker'.
