[Heartlander]

…I just don't need to be pinged to follow-ups to dreck. I feel bad for going off so shrilly on Heartlander; better I ignored his post. And usually, if I want an argument, I'll go looking for one.

I appreciate that Professor - besides, the whole astrology/alchemy episode was satire after all…

Well, in my defense, in a society where 10% of the population are cannibals, a satire proposing the eating of the children of the poor may be open to dangerous misconstrual :-)
