I am very great full for your work it is extremely seminal. I am currently working on a manuscript on Scientism and the new Atheism. I believe the whole phenomenon is well rank with rankism,intellectual elitism classism based on education and alleged superior intelligence(I am not a theist by the way)
Dennet,Dawkins,Hitchens and the founder of Mensa all Oxonian.as was the late Anthony Flew.
Of course there is a direct correlation to religiosity and economic insecurity and lack of education.
Thank You again for your Work

I had my first “ah ha” moment shortly after reading your books, regarding the flap around Rush Limbaugh and Rahm Emanuel tossing around the “retard” epithet:
It seems like there�s always some group that is �fair game� to put down, whether it�s blacks, gays, Jews, fat people, or the mentally retarded. But what is acceptable behavior one day becomes unacceptable the next (do to awareness, education, or simply social pressure). We need to come to a place where no person and no group is fair game. And that, to me, is the mission of the Dignity Movement.

It seems the moment we go looking for the help we need in our lives, all manner of topics cross can our paths anymore. Synchronicity is really getting noisier and noisier to recognize!
The word “Rankism” looks like many things to me at a distance, since, I have not looked much deeper at the intention or context of this idea, or of a ‘Dignity Movement.’ I have just encountered “Rankism,” and “The Dignity Movement” as subjects due to an email list I am on… Impressionistically, I believe I can grasp the basic concepts here, as being another facet in the larger discussion on conscious human evolution.

Is there room inside this topic for the complicated relationships inside families who have the legacy of unhealed abuses? Specifically where a female predecessor has been a childhood victim of sexual trauma, and remaining unconscious to the memories, has passed a lifetime of unspoken, unrecognized and consequently unmet needs for deep healing down to her children, creating a pattern of targeting behaviors that are pointed negatively at her own daughter, as well as manipulative behaviors for protection that have utilized sons as “husbands of convenience?” These patterns are terrifically polarizing in a family of origin over the course of a life, and have debilitating emotional and psychological consequences that most people commonly seem to ignore as ever existing. It seems that only the targeted are left with the brunt end of consequences that are harder to ignore, or avoid.
