The Economist is at its best when dripping with sarcasm. I, for one, confess to contributing to the slow fray of the social fabric, though I wouldn't dare speak for my fellow immigrants. In fact--though I doubt this was what Mr. Krikorian meant--I was just telling both my gay husband and my gay mistress about my epiphany, that I am in many ways a gay man. Think about it: I like ballet, cats, and gay men. And those are just a few examples. But it seems that I am part of a greater social trend.

Alright, all--I'm away for the next couple of days. Have a great weekend and I'll talk to you Monday or Tuesday.
