Comic Book Politics Blog welcomes a very fine looking cousin: David Fiore's American Radical Thought. Dave's class is going to feature a number of the same texts covered here in CBP: Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come, along with Squadron Supreme, Animal Man, Jaime Hernandez's Locas, and a hefty dose of Ralph Waldo Emerson. David is also planning a course-blog.
It reminds me of the farmer guy from the famous Wuffa Wuffa issue of Cerebus:
Farmer: "A few week back, the de-partment of electoral management sent me a strappin big lad in a velvet sissy jacket who told me I was supposed to de-stribute these ballots he give me to evebuddy in the province over the age o'eighteen. I hitched up old Wilma up to 'er carriage an' I spent a whole day I could bin mendin' fences ridin' all over the good father's land.
"I de-livered 'em to all seventy-eight folks over the age limit who could spell their own names or at least make an "x." An' I told ever last one of'em that the feller in the sissy jacket said if any of the ballots were crumpled up, ripped 'r in any other way despoiled or de-filed the ballot was not to be counted...
"Well, sir.. the day afor yestidday, I spent the whole day gatherin' up them ballots. Them folks who had given the matter a little thought handed the ballots back all crumpled up. Them folks who had given the matter a lot of thought told me they lost theirs. Them folks what had talked it over with their wimmen-folk sicked their dogs on me.
"Unfortunately, as is bound t'happen any time you assume that a person can think just cause he's over the age o'eighteen, some folks didn't do any thinkin' about the matter at all. They jest put a neat little 'X' in whichever box they was partial to. There were four ballots like that..."
Cerebus: "Four?! Out of seventy-eight?"
Farmer: "Yessir. Last time one - this time four... It's like watchin' gangrene spread."
Last week, one comic book politics blog.... this week, two. It's like watchin' gangrene spread.
Welcome David Fiore!
thank you my friend!
the course-blog should be operational by Monday...stay tuned!
(I love that farmer-guy, by the way...Cerebus oughtta be ashamed of himself for treating such a fine emissary of reason in the way that he did!)
Dave

Many people claim that books have changed their lives. For you, what was the book that you fully read and understood and noticed that it had an effect on your life? What book made you want to change for the better? What book made you realize the meaning of life? What book changed you as a whole?

Just as the saying goes that you are never too old to learn. I believe it. At first keeping reading all the way can enrich our leisure and knowledge. We can learn a lot from reading. Do you think so?

Abundance is a life style, a way of living your life. It isn’t something you buy now and then or pull down from the cupboard, dust off and use once or twice, and then return to the cupboard.

They are house- trained (but I'm well aware that there will be hairballs from time to time, and stinky litter pans to clean regularly); they cuddle with me and with each other; they run and chase each other through the..

It is pretty commonplace to modify knowledge how attributions with what I will call "incompleteness" modifiers, because they in some sense indicate an incomplete knowledge state. Some examples:
