Oh well, I guess its fun to be "nominated", thanks
Daniel
I am not sure whether to be honored or annoyed. :)
I will take this as a positive thing. I hope.

It is fun, except if you get tagged for a few things in a row. Then it is fun still, but a fun that looks a lot like "make work."
Oh and exegetical fallacies is a must read - even if you don't study Greek.
even so--
Why do you wish "Brave New World" had never been written?
It shows how depraved we really are...
It shows where humanism will take us...
Huxley himself printed a retraction of sorts a few years later...
even so--
It shows how depraved we really are...
It shows where humanism will take us...
Isn't that a good thing?
In a sense, yes, but the Bible already tells me that, and to me, seeing it the way it is portrayed in this work is ugly...
Okay. I guess I will have to disagree. I thougth the book was brilliant, not only as a piece of literature, but also as a commentary on the human condition.
Hey, I promise I will take you up on the tag . . . in a few days.
I forgot to let you know that my response is up now. You picture looks quite nice at the Moor
