I don't think it has underlined implications of how society works. I think they are just a group of men who really think they can become AKA's by playing dress up. They are no different than those women who buy a pin off of ebay and attempt to "pass" as a member. The men who do this is just plain weird.

Thanks sistergreek. I thought it was just me.

You're welcome Sistergreek. I thought Wolfman was about to write his thesis for a minute!

I've been restrained in the way I've done posts in this thread for exactly the reason you stated. I was tempted to launch into a mini-dissertation. But, I vehently disagree with your assertion about the multifaceted,multilayered nature of the story. It's the lack of deep, critical thought about issues that actually empowers what some people fear:the distortion and abuse of news stories for rank political reasons to hurt people. People use sterotypes to stave off real, thoughtful dialogue. People who have changed the world for the better have always sought to see the big picture and the interrelationships in society and amongst cultures. It's no accident that Dr. King used such strange stuff as personalist philosophy, the praxis of Gandhi, along with his all important background in the OT prophetic tradition as an analytic and critical basis for how he "exegeted" this society and what he did. Nuff said.

You know it's pretty bad when ***I*** want to tell Wolfman to sit down and stop analyzing the social significance of this.

Alpha lesbians or sweethearts gone wild?

I think it's the latter, which means it the Apes' faults so they need to fix what they allowed to get out of hand.

Unlike those MiAKAs who had no AKAs in their photos, there are Apes all throughout those photos of "Alpha lesbians."
