Jason - please do not try to dissuade me from my mission. I am the 
Cultural Terminator. I (and many others) have been annointed by Mr Bolt. 
Ask yourself how many weirdo foreigners get their novels published in 
English. Havent a few of these weirdos even won the Booker Prize? Have you 
understood nothing about the scourge of political correctness? 

Please try to understand the crisis neoconservative commentators are 
struggling alert us to. And be a little bit more sensitive to their 
marginalised position. What's their platform? Sure they pretty much 
dominate the opinion pages of the Australian, the Sydney Morning Herald, 
every Murdoch paper in Australia, and commercial talkback radio and a lot 
of television by default. But how often do they get invited to give a 
lecture to undergraduates in cultural studies? So please stop your elitist 
carping. So this Xmas, give a little thought to how lonely it must be out 
there on the margins for neo-conservatives. Crochet them something nice.

is there not a relevant distinction to be made between Western Culture and 
(human) civilisation? The former seems to hate itself well enough already, 
but I'm all for the latter. Please don't end it Catharine.
