She is a wonderful writer and i enjoy her political repartee more than her literary works. It's also motivated me to put some theories i've formulated into writing regarding our lack of societal progress, and i've linked this post in the process. i hope you don't mind, and you obviously have the right to protest if you feel it has violated you moral rights against negative attribution.
