Do you think that’s a young Rashida?
So, Rashida (sp?) is all a-giddy with daddy Bush, the fake Republican, as she is today with Democrats for fake democracy. Anon can see that.
Just a little side jaunt if anyanons want while monitoring RealWorld CrazyLand…
Recently revisited Daniel Defoe’s original “Robinson Crusoe” (unabridged is very long). Was ‘made’ to read the book by my father when i was twelve or thirteen years old. Good ‘character builder’ he said. Some 40 years later, and i just can’t get over how timeless the original story (published 1720) is to this day… and also how formative and influential it WAS upon my life now seen in hindsight.
Anyanon under thirty who’s read the unabridged or otherwise original material? Or has such literature been successfully scrubbed from western child rearing?
Early fiftiesanon here. By curious circumstances, I ended up reading far more books than i would have, if the School System of my own day had had more ‘influence’. Unfortunately, my father got tangled up with a nut job ‘early adopter’ Change Agent inside the then new Federal Department of Education. She tried very hard to “fix” me as a young and precocious trouble-making boy.
I think he did his best to counteract, by administering cognitive-antidote (fantastic classic books for difficult boys) while NOT being able to stop the School System itself then already trying to de-gender boys and girls. Unfortunately, the School System now is jabbing swampjuice under the skin and no amount of literature can counteract that.
Try out some original Crusoe if you find the time, sounds like you might be young enough yet.
