vanessa isn't overreaching at all. you seem not to know anything about oriantalism and how it is racism. portraying "placental mammals" with dreadlocked hair wearing loincloth is just another tiring representation of colored people being primitive. of course, the protagonists (posted to Asshat Interview of the Day, with Director James Cameron)
i don't think this is the folly of "limited screening" for breast cancer, but "limited mammograms" for breast cancer. mammograms aren't the only way to screen for breast cancer. the first exam is a breast exam, and i think all (posted to The Folly of Limited Screening for Breast Cancer)
