My...hey there...oddly, I feel proud you wrote this. My favorite by Ginsberg by the way is <I>Kaddish</I>.<BR/><BR/>I was a little stunned, when I first returned to America, over the <I>ill-literacy</I> and then I felt terrible inside for thinking that way, but you've hit it on the war and its demeaning so many from knowledge. No one's curious anymore, or mostly the yokes you discuss are ambivalent. Or what they once thought of as brave they indeed have seen blown off the earth. <BR/><BR/>I've wondered about what boredom can do and then in the university office where I work, on nearly a daily basis, I experience a lot of what women experienced back (I feel) in 1972. There's a regress happening in the halls, and so even more I applaud you for writing what you did here. Rings worthy of the Op-eds on-line (and free now) from the New York Times. Have a snoop-see some time. <BR/><BR/>And, happy trails to you going to London,<BR/>-ginab+bbginabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885737646572900998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15795304.post-84340814718692620482007-09-26T01:12:00.000+01:002007-09-26T01:12:00.000+01:00Thanks Ian!
