Are you so attached to your perspective that you can't percieve any other? It doesn't take a doctor to recognize that thedescribed "interaction" is not a series of autonomic impulses.

Love the way clothes smell coming off the line in summer. Winter too wet to make it feasible...

Well put, Liza. That very same proposal was made by Michael Crichton in "State of Fear ", and more recently on a re-broadcast on C-Span. You may not agree with the plot line of the book, but he makes a very, very strong argument for doing just that. The way it is now is much too close to...

It seems the subtelty of the point is too elusive. Spelled out; Pauline Kael was so invested/insulated in her point of view that socially she did not even know anyone who thought differently, therefore could not concieve that any one else in the entire country could be capable of believing...

Your edit to your post says it best, but wanted to commend you on your efforts nonetheless & to let you know not to feel that badly; of all people, even the Dali Lama cannot physiologically sustain a vegetarian diet.

Codger, I agree that there is nothing like the rigidity and intolerance of the young. I have sensed through his posts, though, that Magatsu has a very lively mind, a broad range of interests, and does evidence some receptiveness to ... at least consider other points of view, even when they...

Umm. Will Rodgers? This one tickles my memory; Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it. because if it is he, here's another, similar one; "Buy land - they aren't making any more of it." In...

Gotta confess, I like 'em all; I don't have any little elves coming in at night to take care of the stuff, and I just want to get it done! All done, out of the way (cheering - I WIN, I WIN), so I can get on with enjoying my life. Can't stand wanting to start on a project, read a book, get some...

Oops - the thread was about the worst child actor. Don't really know -tend to give the kids more leeway. After all, they are just kids. Don't really know as "working" in that environment so young is the most fit activity for them anyway.

Kirsten Dunst was pretty good in that vampire flick w/Cruise & Pitt. She was pretty young then..

I've been catching up on some reading here. For the sake of clarity, I thought I'd post a specific link to a site that talks about outcome-based education (thanks codger for reminding me of that). http://www.theriver.com/Public/tucson_parents_edu_forum/obe1.html It's a bit long, but...

It seems to be an ongoing annoyance-provoking, tiresome attention- mongering problem. But that's just me; I haven't been here too long. However, check this link: http://www.treachercollins.org/main.html This gal doesn't seem to be having a pity party.

Maybe you ought to consider writing one one day; check this thread: http://www.alldeaf.com/showthread.php?t=13870 The only book I've heard of addressing the Deaf/HOH community anecdotally is "Everyone (Everybody?) Here Spoke Sign Language". It's a history of people in Martha's Vineyard...

Great Thread! :applause: Hope it will generate a good response.
