You skim when you perceive insufficient nuance.

John...seriously, how is it you only skim the opinions you don't want to consider....how are we as "forever students of the world" ever to understand each other if we only give lip service to the others concerns? Karen, when Nadine first started posting Hanson's columns, I read them quite carefully and found them full of hyperbolic nonsense. So rather than just ignore them, which those early ones seriously deserved, I skim them to see if he has anything interestingly new to say. As for my students, I would never assign Hanson to them. He doesn't do sociology theory.

Surely this is not how you taught your students, is it? Apparently so... I wonder if they can be reimbursed for all of those wasted credit hours where they were only exposed to ideas spoken from "intellectuals" that he "approved" of first. I don't dismiss an article solely on the basis of the author, though I do find some writers falling to support their logic, or denying the obvious realities, so I will skim from time to time looking for new ideas. But for a former professor to admit such behavior?? Hawk@thingsthatmakeyougohmmmmmm.....com
