The whackjob needs to pay her rent or at least buy food, so she writes BS books. There are a large number of failed academics and academic wanna-be’s that write books predicting the end of the world, culture, religion, freedom, whatever. It’s like listening to an over-educated carnival barker trying to separate you from your ticket just to get a glimpse of some over-hyped circus act.
This woman is a circus act and that’s how she makes her money. She was far too emotional or she was of dubious academic acheivement even though she had the correct politics and sex for getting tenure.
Other nuts who are in this category are: James Howard Kunstler, Jeremy Rifkin and Gore Vidal. There are others, but I don’t make it a habit of reading the works of my ideological enemies. Most of these people are cultural vandals.
