yeah, I wasn't actually thinking of you personally, I was thinking of those people who DO wear the shirt and tie to work and do nothing whatsoever out of place yet "break out' on the week-ends as if they are somehow "alternative" to the dominant paradigm, or worse, those homosexual men who work within the system and hold places of power yet have been exceedingly detrimental to all other gay people i.e. Ernst Roehm, J. Edgar Hoover, Roy Cohn. As well as those conservative politicians who seem to get caught with their male lovers at regular intervals.

What little I really know about the true circumstances of the U.S. scares me. It scares me because my own country is headed in your direction and has been for at least the past 30 odd years. The reality of your health, education and welfare systems is frightening to say the least, and understanding that I can hardly blame anyone for doing the necesessary things to hold onto a decent level of wages and conditions. When one considers your political system and the people in power, it's really not hard to see how the vast majority of the population would be "alternative" to it and them. I'm just not so sure THAT is actually "alternative".
