Douglas Murray: The madness of crowds.

Let's say I'm not impressed by his "Gay"-chapter; he's a confusing confuser who thinks that everybody but himself is confused about homosexuality. Michel Foucault is confused, Aristotle (!!!!!) is confused, but not little Doggie Murray - meh!

What do I mean by "little"? Well, little Doggie is born in 1979, so he's 19 years younger than myself. I was banging other boys years before Doggie was even born - meh!!!
