  1. Since I consider Larry McMurtry one of our greatest living Americans, and as such was inspired to be a book collector, I felt like we should have a non-fiction reading thread. Currently I’m reading Pandora’s Box by Jorn Leonard, which is a WWI history just translated into English by one of Germany’s top historians. I’m also starting on A.G. Hopkins’ American Empire, with high hopes.
  2. The end lesson is that you got keep the blackmail out of the sex cult right? Otherwise, everything was above board.
  3. A high priced durable good that fills a somewhat small niche has to be kind of a bitch to keep going, doesn’t it?
  4. That’s when it pays to be able to distribute the written word then, where people can consume it at their time and pace. Too much emphasis is placed on the act of speaking rather than the distribution of thought.
  5. Why shouldn't people be able to shout down views they find abhorrent? I think a bigger problem with society is people expecting headpats for their dumbass views, than a preponderance of safe spaces.
  6. Your going to have to move all the soy crushers and grain terminals then too, along with the rail heads.
  7. Well I'll disagree without about levees for New Orleans, as the port remains very useful, and a lot of out commodity exports flow out through the gulf, especially with the new Panamax vessels.
