questions
1) if you were in a wheelchair, would you try to compete in some wheelchair-specific event?
2) is there anything ethically beneficial to knowing what's going on? I am not so sure there is. Is news just entertainment then? I am going to stop reading and paying attention to news, in all forms. So no Wall Street Journal, no Entertainment Weekly, no Time, no Economist, no nothing.
Know nothing as well, but for experimental purposes at this point I am willing to accept that.
3) Did David Brooks actually use "Katrina's Silver Lining" as a headline? I heard this but due to aforementioned self-imposed news embargo, I can neither confirm nor deny.
4) Have you literary types who seek a literary take on what post-apocalyptic society may be like ever heard of Fiskadoro by Denis Johnson? Do you suspect that a lot of journalists down in the Big Easy wish that our language had more words that express/connote/denote "post-apocalypse?"
5) We start a few wars, and have our taxes cut. We see gas prices ascend, and we drive more. What is the response to a natural disaster that offers up grotesque pictures that, like the car accident you drive past, you feel compelled to view?
6) Can the Indians catch the Sox?
7) Have you heard of Stanley Hauerwas?

zambranovitch - you peeked into my tent when you question why is it that you or i or anyone else couldn't just stop paying attention. there will be more on that in a moment on other venues. i'm in the reg, incidentally, and it's #^$(*(*&$ing weird how long some of thse people have been around, although maybe i should start counting myself as one of those people, except i come here once every six months, so there. more importantly: the indians are going to the world series and they're finally going to have to get a non-racist mascot, after they take it all down this year. millwood for DNC chairman. fuck the NCAA committee on not hurting feelings: the fighting sioux isn't that offensive.
Wow - penis enlargement, then two actual responses. i feel blessed.
Dean-eal- that's trenchant stuff. I basically have abandoned television until baseball playoffs start. and i dont' mean that in a higher than thou sense, just as a measure of self-sanity maintenance. william james's examples makes 9 philosophers out of 10 look like kindergardeners. e.g. squirrel around the tree, etc.
the reg? I like the reg. I spent some of my best self-abnegnative time there. PTB, i hope the Indians win. all kinds of indians, cleveland's included.
