Studies show that verbal abuse causes
physical brain damage.

Stop beating up on yourself.

I think we should limit ourselves to attacking
the Victorians, they are beyond brain damage
at this point but they did a HELL of a
lot of damage to the future while they were
alive. Vickers, et al, show exactly when and
how this got started. Bacon was not demonized
in the 17th or 18th centuries.

Now we are
faced with the additional damage Looney did
to the future when he was alive. (We don't
want a feudal reading of the Shakespeare
works, at least the republican Strat revisionism
of Shacksper (another feudal) has propped up
our institutions.

Show me one republican thing in Oxford's
12th century life.

Yes, I demand to see one. Post it below.
