Opinionated Media: I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.
http://liberalrocker.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-am-so-clever-that-sometimes-i-dont.html
Editorials on things that interest me. Saturday, May 7, 2011. I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.". So my last post(Wake Up Nerd Culture, You're A Sham) got some interesting comments from Kenny and Elfarmy but I think that either they totally missed the point or I did a terrible job communicating the point(possibly a bit of both). So let me clarify:. The point of the post was that I believe that there are a large...

Opinionated Media: On Estella Havisham in Great Expectations
http://liberalrocker.blogspot.com/2011/07/on-estella-havisham-in-great.html
Editorials on things that interest me. Tuesday, July 5, 2011. On Estella Havisham in Great Expectations. It could be argued that Estella is the villain of Great Expectations, and thus follows in the footsteps of Lady Macbeth. However, Estella was raised by Mrs. Havisham, a cruel, cold woman, and she taught Estella to break men's hearts. Mrs. Havisham created Estella and thus we can't really blame Estella for what she does to Pip. She learned it at her mother's knee. July 19, 2011 at 10:32 AM. This is min...

Opinionated Media: "Leave Me Alone!" Or A Critsism of The Founding Fathers
http://liberalrocker.blogspot.com/2011/06/leave-me-alone-or-critsism-of-founding.html
Editorials on things that interest me. Friday, June 24, 2011. Or A Critsism of The Founding Fathers. I'm Not Magic, Lead Yourselves.". As a woman I have no country. As a woman, I want no country.". Because we, as a people, look for idols, for leaders and the 'Founders Of Our Nation' are the best candidates around. So, just like people do with their religious texts, all we care about is what the Founding Fathers would have done and we lose our common sense. Perhaps it's just my own arrogance but I don't b...

Opinionated Media: Fundamental Flaws: On The American Dream
http://liberalrocker.blogspot.com/2011/06/fundamental-flaws-on-american-dream.html
Editorials on things that interest me. Saturday, June 11, 2011. Fundamental Flaws: On The American Dream. Between them these two books sum up our present predicament. Capitalism leads to dole queues, the scramble for markets, and war. Collectivism leads to concentration camps, leader worship, and war. There is no way out of this unless a planned economy can somehow be combined with the freedom of the intellect, which can only happen if the concept of right and wrong is restored to politics. Life Isn't Fa...

Opinionated Media: Wake Up Nerd Culture, You're A Sham
http://liberalrocker.blogspot.com/2011/05/wake-up-nerd-culture-youre-sham.html
Editorials on things that interest me. Saturday, May 7, 2011. Wake Up Nerd Culture, You're A Sham. One quick note, this is in no way a response to Elfarmy's recent post, as I've been planning on writing this for days). I think when people talk about nerdiness what they're really talking about are smart people who are trying to think hard about the world. And I don't think that's an insult, I think that's a great thing.". A large number of people of my generation have decided that they are nerds and, beca...

Opinionated Media: My John Green Problem
http://liberalrocker.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-john-green-problem.html
Editorials on things that interest me. Thursday, February 10, 2011. My John Green Problem. So I went to a Wrock concert last night(Wizard Rock for those of you who are not hip to the extraordinarily geeky culture) and a great deal of the attendees and at least one of the performers are "Nerdfighters" which is an organization started by Young Adult author John Green. Is it that his books are really accessible? Is it that he really is good and I am just crazy? I don't know but I find it really odd. I am cu...
