Cancer Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Re: The Last Word I wouldn't say "always"... And I really dislike that option, because right now the majority of the weaponry around here seems to be in the hands of folks who think intellectuals need to be put against the wall and purged.

Cancer Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Re: The Last Word Anti-intellectualism in the US hasn't quite been as vehement and violent as anti-clericalism has been in, say, France, but as a social force I think it's stronger.

Cancer Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Re: The Last Word Woof. I wasn't a participant in that game, and it's been ... 25 years ... since I saw it last. I'll have to ask if it still exists somewhere (and it'd be an old typescript if so). It might, but finding it would be a severe challenge.
