This should be an interresting thread.
Humbug.
This is what the Atlantic does lately. The take some outrageous or offensive or extreme position and use it to generate Internet traffic and controversy: The End of Men, White People Are Through; Why Google Makes Us Stupid; Why Facebook Makes Us Lonely; The Case Against Breastfeeding; Did Christianity Cause the Crash; Why Obama Matters; Why Obama is Right; Why John Kerry Could Be Our Greatest Secretary of State; Joe Biden: The Most Influential Vice President In History; Joe Biden Is Really Smart.
It's stupid, shameless, and transparent.
