I tried it for the NY Sun. It called me Penis hed and wouldn't allow me in. LOL! I was already registered at the NY Times. I have used bugmenot.com at a lot of of sites, but IIRC, NY Sun also frustrated me when I tried it.

My NYC Actor-Lefty pal made some derogatory remarks about the midwest(red states)tonight. I told him to keep up the patronizing coastal elitist attitude and maybe he and his Greenwich Village buddies would be out of power for another decade. After all, every American deserves a voice in government, even if he doesn't live on a coast or have sex with members of his own gender, right?
He didn't like that at all. I don't think he is used to hearing any voices of intelligent dissent - but he's an actor and lives in NYC, after all.
He changed his tune after I gave him a decent story idea to shop around. I don't think the leftie postmodernist writers in New York have much to offer outside of the usual "Gay Nuns Getting Abortions in Iraq" storylines they dote on.

If you look just around the United States you find amazing cultural segmentation. Living in the Bay area of Northern California, don't I know it!

I've always told my kids that I am not this least bit racist, but that I might be considered a "culturist" - becuase I believe that some cultures are superior to others (and that my own culture is not necessary at the top of the heap, either).
The worshipping of "multiculturalism" is the Achilles heel of modern liberal philosphy. For example, might one legitimately consider a culture that forces involuntary mutulation of it's female members to be inferior to one that does not? And, if this is the case then what's the significance of "multiculturalism"?
Personally I think "multiculturalism" is just an excuse for a certain segment of our population to parade through life dressed like clowns.

Thomas Sowell already covered this issue, exhaustively, brilliantly, endlessly.
