    I agree with your earlier point about "a generation that grew up being taught about the heroic struggles against prejudice undertaken by previous generations and they want their own." Though I would be squeemish about using the word 'bender'.
    Nobody is against prejudice, A. In fact, everybody wants to get a piece of it. 'Twas ever thus.

    Action transvestite. Or liberal imperialist as I would describe him. Bragged about being "thinly read" while proposing violent solutions to complex problems he wasn't remotely interested in trying to understand.

    I did like his surrealism though. And his James Mason and Sean Connery voices. And his Darth Vader with the lunch tray sketch. And Mrs Badcrumble.
