Lefties Go Right
I saw an ad yesterday for "room required" in a café. It read something along the lines: "Basque girl seeks room in central location". Now, in a fully blown lefty world, why would people see it necessary to label themselves Basque - and alert other potential flatmates to this issue?

Possible reasons for her note:

The girl has a problem with non-Basque Spanish.
The girl anticipates a problem associating with non-Basques.
The girl has a preference of association with Basques.

All of the above are an abhorrent example of self imposed social segregation. Or maybe she just likes the sound of the word "Basque".



Anti genetic research propaganda is starting to get me irate. Science is, so far, the only deity that has not abandoned me.
