I rejected this stuff without reading it, in fact I remember cursing the
people at the McLibel list for sending out such rubbish.

Don't misuderstand me, I made a brief attempt to scan the article, but when
someone starts attributing greed, war and violence to birth trauma I get
decidedly impatient. Doesn't seem much more sophisticated than the old
twaddle that greed is human nature, which seems to be the article's
underlying assumption.

Psychobull is an apt summary in my view. But what is truly unforgiveable is
that it is extremely LOG-WINDED psychobull.
