extremes in a few short posts is up for debate.  and
the study of things sociological is of great interest
to me, personally.

however, my original point was that i found i had to
make some sort of comment, even if it was tantamount
to an electronic clearing of my throat, in response to
a post making the equivalent of what i consider to be
a statement like: 'girls are bad at math' or 'blacks
just don't like rock and roll.'  

that's all.  i just couldn't let it go by without SOME
noise from me.  and i'm sorry that i felt like i
needed to call on my sisters or something. i should
have just said something myself.  i guess i was afraid
at that moment i was SO pissed, that i was going to go
into a three page sociological feminist diatribe.  

best to let it breathe a few days. now, you only get a
few paragraphs.
