Exactly. It’s very interesting (and disturbing) to read the comments here and see just how many people really don’t know his history going all the way back to Nixon.

Haven’t read mocking bird in god probably 20+ years, but my understand is this is the book she initally wanted to publish but the publishers didn’t like it and told her to focus on a young Scout and so mockingbird was born. But could it be the Atticus isn’t really changed all that much by the new book. It very well…

It’s no “OK” to be racist, simply because there are racists.

I read this novel in a class that was taught by the greatest teacher I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. She taught us how to read like adults and not kids being forced to read as an assignment. TKAM was by far, the best book we read. Not because the book itself was superior to the many others we read that…

Your point about being racist but also doing your job may have been Lee’s original intention with GSAW, but, that’s why her editor said to change it and she made TKAM instead. The reason is this: that kind of thinking is far more of a fairy tale than what transpired in TKAM. The Klan doesn’t believe in that fairness.…

Does mating high stat people together birth high stat children or is it all just a crap shoot?

okay this sounds like the best game ever.

Please tell me you have a vault dweller name Kimmy who is overly optimistic, lol. That’s actually a good idea, has anyone tried to make a cult in the game? Is it even possible?

He’ll feel like new once he submits that interview tape for The Apprentice.

My must intresting event so far:

True! Though you don’t have any control on what gender the radio stations spit out, so it’s still somewhat a toss-up.

I hope your husband realizes he wasn’t any better in terms of behavior than the MRAs by trying to shuttle you off and shush you “for your protection”.

I’ve had some very vile and disturbing things said to me recently on Gawker and Salon due to some very benign discussions...not controversial topics at all. My husband said I should stop participating in online discussions because of this. Hard to believe that the solution was I stop talking...I mean, really? Didn’t…

I love me some John Oliver.
