There's a bit of Metablade in all of us.
Makes a good point, but much of the content is debatable at the very least.
Another problem, a serious one, is that claims are made with no actual source cites--hard to check up on whats not there.
Some of the conjectures seem "off" as well.
Was Helen Keller a "radical?"---hard to say, by the standards of HER time perhaps--perhaps not.
By "todays" standards--almost certainly not.
Heck the "New Deal" was seen as "socialist" by some--some still do.
