Dear friends, I'm not sure if any of you have been very big on recent writings by Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins, (recently classed together as New Atheists) but I would like to share an article from New York Times that I find particularly intriguing, maybe because it sits very well with me.

consider the emotional resonance of this trailer and the film. is it because we know at some deep level that the plight and foibles of the characters are our own? is it because we know that the ideology of chasing a dollar bill is undermining the energy of a nation from within? how does one serve others when the simple act of saving oneself is hard enough as it is? how do you get out of a small

a rather clumsy illustration of relative truth comes to mind - orwell's 1984. arguably not a post-modernist text, it still elucidates my point. there's the notion of doublethink - war is peace, freedom is slavery, etc. and then consider the engineering of truth that happens throughout the book - oceania has always been at war with eastasia, then -toing- oceania has always been at war with eurasia

After many moons living in the US of A, I feel finally qualified to comment on the secrets of the American accent. The foreigner should try and understand this Code for his/her own benefit, lest they be deemed unacceptably fobby. (F.O.B= fresh off the boat)1.) Americans adopt the unsounded 't' consonant, especially in the middle of a multi-syllablic word. This can come in two forms. Firstly, the

Ahaha. AHAHAHAAHA.Thank you guys, for making me laugh so very hard. This just goes to prove the age old saying that, perhaps the poet never meant everything to be that way, just that we read too much into it.

this poem deftly manipulates form to subtly enhance its themes of loneliness and the presence of a 'beautiful facade' that momentarily alleviates the individual of his pain. the first two verses provide a vivid image of the immense presence of the abovementioned 'facade', and the structure reflects and augments this point. free verse and no enjambement in the first two verses draws sufficient
