The Aliens
Well, now. My essay on Western alienation is not going to make much sense, because Western alienation doesn't make much sense. Really, so much of political division is based on "we are different from Group X now because we were different then". I mean, if you don't have an industrial base and have been stifled by years of East-friendly policies, then you will continue to be so long after the policies change. Arguably, the policies haven't changed that much, but if these are all historical grievances that continue to take the Nutella-smeared bread from Prairie children's mouths? Eventually you're just shooting at dead men. And flogging their horses, too.
I have to go do more reading now.

Don't you dare flog dead horses of dead people. It's discrimination, is what it is. So there.
We're watching the movie of "Flowers for Algernon" (AKA: "Charly") and it is tres good. Punctuate this: (if you haven't guessed who I am by now, I am very amazed. Who else do you know who would send you a punctuation thing for fun?) THAT THAT IS IS THAT THAT IS NOT IS NOT IS THAT IT IT IS
Have fun!
Well, I hope your pnemonia is leaving you alone now, that you're getting enough sleep, and that you're enjoying/you have enjoyed reading Plato. Also that the western alienation essay is going well.
TTFN, ta-ta for now,
