Chris of Mixing Memory is doing us the service of a chapter by chapter review of George Lakoff's The Political Mind. This should be fun! I told Chris that reading Lakoff talking about the minds of conservatives is kind of like me opining with supreme confidence as to the deep motivations behind why so many homosexual men prefer being "bottoms." The is fact that I'm not a homosexual male myself, nor have I read a great deal of literature on the topic, or even communicated with homosexual males about the issue and their motivations behind their preferences, is besides the point. Now only if there was a large audience of heterosexuals who knew no gay people interested in buying books about the topic!
