George Orwell: 1984 Neil Postman: Amusing Ourselves to Death
These are the ones that my sieve of a memory lets me retain without looking them up again.
Who'd have thought 1984 would arrive in the new millenium? And why does no one understand that expecting to be constantly entertained eliminates our critical thinking, at least in relation to all things media?
"I like flaws and the people who have them. I myself am made of nothing but flaws, stitched together with good intentions." -- Augusten Burroughs
I am the blogger formerly known as Jane Doe. I'm not special. If I gave a shit what people thought about me, I'd be different.
I like hockey, and bicycling, and progressive things, and guys who have useful skills.
I dance and sing at work. I like my job. So sue me.
I am committed to remaining militantly on my own side.
I scuppered The Bigger Boat, and have sailed on in a new boat. That's me, way out on the horizon.

Shame on all of us for letting this happen.
