The question ...I hadn't noticed UU Carnival before. The question didn't strike me as anti-intellectual, because it was more focused on what you like than what you don't like. I read it as pro-pop culture rather than anti-intellectual.<BR/><BR/>Nothing is more stifling than to be in a group where you don't feel like you can admit what you really like.

I tell people about it, and cry again as I tell it. Your story made me cry too. <BR/>i cry for the beauty of the dream of our founders, and our part in it. <BR/>Can't we get back to that dream of a country run by and for the People instead of by and for money? the dream of justice and equality before the law, of a decent life for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
