I was wondering why I felt moved to post on this, anyway. And the reason is this:
The idea of taking an author's current work as evidence of the author's personal beliefs seems fairly prevalent in the blogosphere right now. I disagree with this viewpoint (a lot).

And yet... it was great writing and made you think about an issue you really didn't want to think about? Yeah, like that. Ask me about Susan R. Matthews sometime. Um, don't click on that link. Really.
