If what you write is true (and I have no reason to doubt it as you seem well-informed), this would be a very effective deterrent to war altogether. China is probably flexing her muscles for the same reason most revolutionary regimes flex their muscles- to paper over internal problems and...

I am speaking to the question of American intervention.

We are too weak and divided domestically to take Xi on. It would highlight our domestic weaknesses rather than resolve them. I have no doubt the Chinese would exploit them.

We call them incels.

I love Shelley, Irving and Tolkien. Enjoying my time with Miller and Thoreau will require a cigar and more bourbon than what is Scripturally allowed.

It's well-written but silly Communist propaganda like most of Arthur Miller's work.

School hasn't been normal since 1837.

To be fair, they have a tendency to cry wolf.

Oh look he added more! Are you finished or do you have more nonsense for me to read?

I don't believe you read my posts. I do not believe in fixed hierarchies based on race.

Well I am calling you silly and thin-skinned. Achieve me and then sell my bones.

You're an interesting man. Your list gives me a mixture of jubilation and revulsion :LOL:

Someone very close to me is going through something similar. If she didn't have her family around her, she says she would have killed herself in response. I will be praying.

Grow a spine.

Jenna Fischer is so cute. I'd steal her from Jim in a heartbeat.

I was listening to a classicist podcast the other day. The question posed was "what is the American Illiad?" The prime interlocutor claimed stories such as East of Eden and Grapes of Wrath played a huge part. I tend to disagree, but it occurred to me how large these books loom on the West Coast...

Carthage: always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Henry V will always be my #1 because of the metal speeches. Hamlet can't be beat as a story though, and it's definitely easier to perform onstage. Great idea. That combo and shows Bradbury's depth. Plus it exposes them to the dialogue format.

When I read that passage I thought, "Wow, if Diomedes aimed a couple more inches to the left, he could have prevented the Punic Wars." What a paper-thin justification. I guess it isn't a surprise. It's difficult to be smart when you are trying to justify something stupid. For Shakespeare? I...
