("Bring'em on!")DISINFECTING THE PENIS CULTURE?
Remember the old patronizing cigarette ad slogan, "You've come a long way baby!" (?)
Well, beginning with Editor-in-chief Alexander Cockburn's morbid dip into the use of Zyklon B on the US Border against Mexican immigrants during the early 1900s and the rise of eugenics among "progressives" at that time the on-line magazine Counterpunch sorts out the remarkable, obscene and bloody in America's class society. David Rosen describes more than the statistical demographics and the historical medical remedies of having your "external genitalia" blown off in the empire's endless wars. Does each successive war take the American patriarchy a step toward emasculation? Also, Steven Higgs writes a graphical report of our teenage boys' societal predilection to murder and homophobia. Is there such a criminal defense plea as "gay panic?"
