Now that’s real food for thought!

Worthy of real conversation when you have more cognitive surplus in your non student life. (acknowledging that you still make hay with what you have, finding this gem as a case in point.)

I want to be able to share it with others. How do I send them the link? Have you checked out his bok? worth getting?

I’ve got the same thing happening with new food tastes, too- if something’s exotic, I think part of my overeating is also “Tastes good, won’t kill me, load up” on infinite repeat…

Oh man, if I knew you were in DC I could have hooked you up with veterans, generals, and anti-war types all over. I’m your peace community connection!

Yes, but on PBS there are prizes! And they go away every once in a while. I love the fact that one theory for Clinton’s good showing is that voters were pissed off at being told that Obama had been crowned the winner and had a contrary moment.
