Lots of good stuff to read there.
I had a great time today at DDLM celebrations and will be posting pics.
BTW this little discussion actually sparked a lot of great food for
thought.  Thanks!

  Ha, you were not silenced, by word count!  In the
bigger scope, you
 silenced yourself.  Could this event have been a forum and awesome
 show-n-tell case for cultural exchange about customary DDLM and ideas about
 transhumanism?  They are both of them "virtual realities" IMO.
 Well, but you had to react negatively becuz of the verbiage in a rough
 draft of a flyer, and antagonized the project from the very start, dead
 worried some actual mexicans might show up and be offended.
 I only came into this thread again to retrieve the flyer, to share on
 twitter.  Sad there's nothing DDLM about the event.  HOLD ON, now there is,
 becuz I synthesized the concepts in mind, without paying royalties to
 anybody.  I'll share the synth tonight if you wish.
 So bring on the DDLM tonight in costume, if you want to, without fear or
 shame of cultural criticism from your peers. Happy Halloween Everyone.
 And here is our consolation prize, courtesy of Ford Motor Company.  They
 paid to show me this.  Well, they didn't pay until I clicked so I could
 show you:

  Please quit the rabid accusation of cultural

 ugly, cuz
  the people of this community are basically
"culture warriors", most of

  I am sure are very keen to be respectful, who
basically walk on cultural
 eggshells in a concerted effort to be inclusive and non-alienating.  And
 why?  THEY KNOW THAT CULTURAL EXCHANGE IS IMPORTANT. 
 Sorry, but to me the only thing rabid, incendiary or ugly in this
 thread is the idea that naming power relationships is somehow itself
 rabid, incendiary, or ugly. This is the "she who smelt it dealt it"
 theory of sociology, and in my experience it only serves to silence
 marginalized people.
