No rights left if nothing's left right!
Our esteemed commenter, Steven Malcolm Anderson, has outdone himself with the most comprehensive look at political, social, philosophical, sexual, religious, and cultural spectrumology I have ever seen. It's an impressive feat of scholarship by any standard. And it's just an overview. A teensy sample: "If sex is nothing but a joke, as the liberal "Naturalists" think, then laws against it are nothing but a joke and can be laughed off and ignored. But if sex is a sin against God and a crime against society, as "Jehovanists" believe, then laws against it must be enforced to placate God and preserve society. And if sex is a holy manifestation of the Godlike/Goddesslike self, as this "Gnostic" dogmatically believes, then laws against it are an unholy abomination and must be abolished."I like the way Steven sees cultural disputes along the lines of mathematical equations; it's a good way to defuse the hyper-emotional rhetoric which so often prevents people from being logical. And in addition to being accurate, it's funny. Steven's work is definitely not to be missed by any regular reader of this blog. And it's a particular must-read if you're one of those like me who are frustrated by the traditional spectrumology of left and right. posted by Eric on 03.02.05 at 10:57 AM

Wonderful job! Congratulations on a BIG job well done!!! Harkonnendog · March 2, 2005 08:13 PM Why, all this time the bastard has been working like The Thing underground, building his work with which to take us all to the outer limits with him. It's too late, I see we never had a chance of escaping his maniacal methods. J. Peden · March 3, 2005 05:25 AM THank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!
