I have Kate Millet's address, and keep meaning to write her (I read
_The_Last_Time_I_Wore_a_Dress_ last february, and it's been on my todo
list since then..bad vinnie). She also has written quite a bit of feminist
analysis that I keep meaning to read. Ah well.

Um..dear, one of the first rules of using vinnie tactics is a little thing

rules on it, even though the humans have many many rules on them...

enterprise system if the government got completely out and no longer
allowed business owners to hide behind their 'corpora

that)

well then why were you asking which men? It was clear she meant all of

Vinnie, choose to break a law, I, Vinnie, get punished. If a corporation
breaks a law (meaning the people behind the corporation) the corporation
gets smacked (and it's rather limited what you can do...often times fines

I don't think it was is because I know you,
from anyone else I'd just assume trollishness)
Can anyone else make this clearer? I get the feeling I'm missing
the point.
