11. Well, Oedipus R, man

I begin by saying that I truly admire your guts at chosing to be the namesake of a priviledged, self-absorbed boy who was sexually obsessed with his mother.

What troubles you - the term 'wifebeater', or the fact that people (still) use it? If you feel particularly erudite, you may elaborate on both.

In the grand scheme of things my personal worry is that we are devolving into a banal, self-obsessed species. Your thoughts?
