What would you like me to say? If it's not controversial I am not interested. Or, if no one gets pissed off...........what's the point? Feelings were made to be hurt. Hearts were made to be broken. Jim

And you do have such a lovely cartwheel! Just to break the monotony of child abuse and race annihilation.... We went to the Half Price Book Store last night. They were having a 20% off sale!!!!!!!!! I got the neatest book - I think it must be a textbook, though I'm not sure for what- called The Conscious Reader. Neo would like it. It seems to be a compilation of writings from Plato (the unexamined life, etc.) to Annie Dillard (a personal favorite though I know she's not one of yours) all responding to The meaning of life type questions. (Alvin Toffler wondered how we could have 12 years of education without once asking basic questions such as "What is life? Why am I here?" This is in response.) I stayed up too late last night reading the section on personal reminiscenses.. Jack London's was fascinating... all I knew about him was he was a man's man, and some short story we had to read in 9th grade. And he writes so wonderfully about the difference between the working man and the elite. He was a Socialist. And then I come here and here's our Capitalist Extreme, Terry, saying just the opposite. Well, I don't know, I just get excited about stuff when it actually seems to relate to real life. I also bought a book about Lucy (the skeleton, not "I Love..")found by Johansen and discussed in The Wisdom of Bones and a book about the Neanderthals. ANd some fiction (Jewel? The Depths of the Earth?) And a book on women's writing by Virginia Woolf, which I think I may already own. Oh dear. Want it?
