Ok.  I give up.  Because if she's actually read the whole thing, I can't
grasp the nature of her argument.  Yup, that's right "I just don't get
it."  (see, it can happen.  Nothing wrong with it.)  My idea of laddish
culture is "sex, guns, gadgets, and money with no consequences."  I find
UA to quite clearly state "sex, guns, gadgets, and money *with*
consequences."  I just can't grasp how you can miss that... which is no
insult to Joanna.  It's more a testament to my inability to comprehend
another viewpoint. 

I guess it's just that I'm rather proud of my ability to see things a
few different ways, but for some reason can't get my little brain around
Jo's statement *if she's read the book*.

I *should* join Pyramid.  Should have done it a long time ago. 
Unfortunatly I barely have enough money to keep my internet connection. 
Maybe if everyone prays/sacrifices/chants for me I can get the job I'm
after.  Then I'll subscribe.  Right after I pick up Statosphere of
course.
