Wow, you know most human interactions, maybe all, can be likened to a game. We create rules of behavior and social structure to in order to make the world more knowable and manipulate people's actions.

And I'm fine with that. I approve of manipulating the masses. it means I'll be richer later as I capitalize on the lack of thinking ability of my fellow man. The thought leaves me warm and tingly on the inside.

However, a sign of maturity is understanding that it IS a game with variable rules, shifting positions, and lot of spin as people try to sell you on behavioral patterns that coincide with their world views and comfort zones.

PC, and multiculturism are just new faces on these very old systems. Multiculturism when it first came out was actually supposed to be a way of increasing interface ability. IT acknowledged that different cultural backgrounds often reflected different learning styles. So the idea was to teach to the culture the same body of knowledge as mainstream education has always tried to teach. However, it has since become a political movement with a lot of Spin on it and its almost defensive in nature. ITs come to mean that different cultures shouldn't be expected to learn certain bodies of knowledge.

Anyway, this guy doesn't seem to understand that point. He is trying to make an argument that certain institutions are inherently wrong and don't even know they are wrong. When honestly, most of these institutions just really exist any valu ejudgment placed on them is in the perception of their perceivers.

In his case he seems to be offended by the idea of greek ORganizations . . . And comes up with lucid arguments to try to spread the offense to other people that haven't form a strong opinion one way or another.

Life must be a litle bitter for him.
