I generally loathe the idea that lack of a privilege entitles you to reverse it in your favor.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

It sounds like the flipside of the Dawkins fallacy now that I think about it.
