C'mon. let's not get into another endless argument over PC; reading a text can never be that simplistic. Look: Kyle has his reading; you have yours; and I have my own. None of our readings is the right one; they are merely *different*, and frankly Kyle sheds an interesting light on _Philadelphia_--one that I would seriously consider, and no doubt draw from, if I wrote an extended analysis of _Philadelphia_.
