I'm glad you liked it; I thought you might.

I've always liked it, and I immediately made a note of it as I read his book. It raises interesting questions, doesn't it? Although, that might be best reserved for private discussion.

Here's another that I liked from a different work of his:

“It takes very little to govern good people. Very little. And bad people can’t be governed at all.”
–No Country for Old Men, by Cormac McCarthy

Maybe I am missing the point of this silly overrated article?

I don't think you're missing the point.



The issues raised are worthy of discussion. However, I found this article online, read many of the comments, and I must say that the prospects look poor for you finding anyone amongst your peers with whom to have a FRUITFUL discussion.

Do you recall what I observed about the differences between YOU and your cohorts?

They become painfully obvious at moments like this.


I recently read of a British study showing that twenty-somethings' marriages deteriorate markedly around two and a half years. I'd be surprised if even half of them could manage to stay married for as little as five years.


Did I mention to you, Ash, to steer clear of romantic entanglements while in college?

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
