re: clowns and baggy pants. Book-learning: who needs it?

It may pain Keith and/or Chemda to know it, (dunno, does it?) but Keith is spouting common-sense, and it's not far off from what has been argued by one of the most famous feminists in America, professor and author Camille Paglia. If it's any consolation, Keith, (because I assume you don't think of yourself as a feminist), Paglia too took some serious abuse from the feminist mainstream after she published thoughts more or less like yours in her book: Sex, Art and American Culture: Essays (1992). (Paglia was also probably a bit, if not much, more diplomatic.)

You can see one relevant excerpt here, around the reference to car keys. http://tinyurl.com/9a7rh
(College-schmollege. Some geniuses are always self-taught.)

Fact of the matter is, Keith should have, (hell, he does have), the free speech right to walk in a poor black neighbourhood and say he thinks the founding fathers had it right when they made slavery legal. More than that, he has the right to make that speech without being worried about being stabbed in the throat. Doesn't make it smart.

That being said: Keith, you're still fucked. Guys are animals. Looking all cute and innocent will set off the one half of the guys that looking all tarted up won't, and vice-versa. Who's to say which group of guys is more dangerous?
