I smell a strawman... Tashmere Send a noteboard - 15/12/2009 02:25:36 AM
Does anyone buy into the idea that the 50's was a golden age anymore? Even white males have to know that the era sucked for everyone but them. And maybe some of their children.

But the introduction is okay. Except that there might be a better way of phrasing it so that it doesn't smell like a strawman.
