Katie, at the risk of enflaming your obvious passion on this issue, have
you been reading Bruce's clarifications (and/or mine) of Bruce's original
point? He's several times rephrased the original post, but it seems that
you're irritated at a misreading of his message. Bruce did not say that
women and minorities don't get the LP message. He's saying (and has said
numerous times) that women and minorities *do* get the LP message, but they
don't think it's convincing or viable. The tone of Bruce's post (to which
you seem to take such exception) was ironic; he asked if women and
minorities aren't a major part of the LP because they "don't get" the
message, but the actual meaning (to even a casual, but thoughtful reading)
was that women and minorities understand completely, and *that* is the
reason, Bruce suggests, that women and minorities are represented in such
limited numbers.
Dave!
