Although we differ on issues, I enjoy Paglia’s columns.
Her columns on Palin have been spot on and I respect that she can take on the hypocrisy of the elite.
In a column she wrote not long ago she offered that the reason that she did not live among the elite was because they were snobbish and out of touch.
Camille gets it.
A while back, Paglia wrote about the feminization of higher education; and how young men (in particular) who in other generations would have been encouraged to go into a trade, become an electrician, plumber, carpenter...and go into business for themselves...are now 'forced' to confirm to the societal need for white collar cubicle life. She felt that educators looked down upon the trades (as they stood in a building w/plumbing and electric...and get the picture). But Camille, this east coast intellectual saw not only the need for the trades but celebrated people who could build and fix and make the world work as opposed to those who are 'taught' to shuffle papers and some how stripped of the ability to 'do for themselves.' After I read it, I thought...'you sure you're not a conservative?'.
