Linguistics is Marxism Ground Zero. How can you be sane today in that field? It's as twisted from reality as Soviet genetics. It's been totally polluted by extreme leftist politics.

Had the world been sane, I would be in that field today. It's my PASSION. That's my personal pet peeve against Marxists.

I've always been interested in linguistics, though in a less scholarly way than you, I'm sure. I remember my father lamenting the loss of words, even when I was quite young (I think I was in 5th grade and noted, in passing, that 'gay' meant more than one thing).
