The trouble with ideologues is their simplemindedness. Communists saw a world
full of evil: Conniving capitalists arrayed against virtuous, long-suffering
proletarians. Fascists saw the world divided between master and inferior races.
Modem feminists see violent, aggressive, uncivilized men victimizing helpless,
innocent, peace-loving women. It is the mark of small minds that they seek to
eradicate nuance and complexity.
The fact that an idea is foolish, however, is no guarantee against its general
approbation. Writing in the summer issue of the Virginia-based Women's
Quarterly, Sally Satel assays the state of domestic-violence treatment and finds
that the feminist understanding of the phenomenon has triumphed.

Subject: Bart Kosko's "Jesus Christ, Family-Hating Communist"
> Bart Kosko just sent me a copy of his article appearing in the September

> Communist." It's intended to show how today's self-described conservatives
> who favor capitalism and family are mistaken if they think these views are
> consistent with the views of Jesus Christ, as stated in the New Testament
> and other sources.

> You may have already come to this realization, but even so Bart's piece is
> well worth reading for the case it makes so nicely in just three pages. And
> I have to admire it for the ballsy title.
