So let me get this straight. You are saying that a university curriculum gives legitimacy to the word? Really? "Allow me to retort."

* Many universities give tenure to supply side economists, teaching a Laffer cocktail napkin model that has a perfect track record of failure

* Physics departments are loaded with string theorists, a cultic group who try to push out other physicists engaged in other research because it's "anti-string." And string theory not only has no experimental support aside from underpinnings in attainable physics that also have a perfect track record of failure.

"Queer theory" comes out of postmodernism, which is again, the most intellectually vapid social model in post-Enlightenment history, little more than neologisms ("heteronormative phallocentricity") and radical egalitarians with weak minds.

Color me unimpressed, Steve.
