Communism as a political force, though not quite dead, is moribund; but one of its offspring, Political Correctness, is alive and kicking especially in the universities, the courts, in the mainstream media, in Hollywood, in the Democrat Party, and indeed wherever liberals and leftists dominate.

Hegel's "The Phenomenology of the Mind" is 750 pages of ground tooth reading.

ZOMBIES had a couple of smash singles before vanishing into the oblivion whence they sprang. I have heard "She's Not There" countless times, and it is probably playing in your head right now, dear reader. (I apologize for the meme infestation.) Suddenly, after all these years, the song as...

Philosophy of parenting... interesting! As a Mom of two, I'd like to explore this philosophically. I'm in.

When a history professor asked me in what era should I have liked to have been born... heh heh
