Alienation

“The preachers and lecturers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves. Why, a free-spoken man, of sound lungs, cannot draw a long breath without causing your rotten institutions to come toppling down by the vacuum he makes. Your church is a baby-house made of blocks, and so of the state.

...The church, the state, the school, the magazine, think they are liberal and free! It is the freedom of a prison-yard.”
― Henry David Thoreau, "I to Myself: An Annotated Selection from the Journal of Henry D. Thoreau"

In case you might be wondering, the poster "Knowledge Base" on a number of my blogs is most likely beamish.

I also have an IPad at home, and I have Windows 8 on my home computer, I think.

@ nicrap

Just call me Sheer-luck Holmes. ;)

Jen said...

haha! I'm not much of a Sherlock at all!
But I am SO relieved to know that it's not him.

That IP address of yours looks like it's coming from the Midwest.

Thanks for letting me know, FJ.

No problem. There's some benefit to Statcounters, but it's not wise to rely too closely on them. You can always anonymize... and there are some pretty good "spoofers" out there.
