Erm, so, anyway, not having collected my thoughts beforehand, I ended up launching into a massive essay in need of heavy, heavy editing that I friends locked to you on my journal (http://calicokat.livejournal.com/311698.html). (Mostly because it's not structured in such a way that anybody not already in this discussion could make heads or tails of it. @_@)

Of course, you may have already interrogated things from this angle or completely disagree with everything I've said. That's the fun of academics I guess.

Hmmm, I forgot how much I enjoy it, though! *eyes MA in Anthropology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham* My mom keeps telling me I should go back to school. *cough*
