Lazy Glossophiliac: Review of Candide
http://lazyglossophiliac.blogspot.com/2010/01/review-of-candide.html
Saturday, January 2, 2010. I recently read Voltaire's Candide and wrote up a little review:. Candide ou l'optimisme (Candide, or Optimism), 1759, by Voltaire, read in French. Glossy's rating: 4 out of 10. Voltaire's rating in Charles Murray's Human Accomplishment: 47 out of 100 (7th place overall in Western lit.). At one point in the novella a character named "the wise man of taste" (oh, the subtlety! Of "Candide" is bizarre. Another interesting thing in the Pococurante episode is that it contains a shor...

The Black Sea: Volunteers of America
http://buyukliman.blogspot.com/2008/11/volunteers-of-america.html
Friday, November 7, 2008. OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT:. When you choose to serve - whether it's your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood - you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That's why it's called the American dream.". 4 Do you not wonder on what grounds, constitutionally, the Federal Government may assume the power to "require" students, or anyone else, to engage in "...

The Black Sea: May 2009
http://buyukliman.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. It Was a Million to One Shot, Doc . . . A Million to One. Well, we're all capable of miracles. Thursday, May 7, 2009. Two More Reasons not to Visit Atlanta. Out of the many thousands of reasons not to visit Atlanta, two more. Emerged this week. I would particularly recommend that college students make a point of enrolling elsewhere. My advice: if you've never been to Atlanta, don't bother. Take it from someone who spent forty years of his life there. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Black Sea: December 2008
http://buyukliman.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 5, 2008. The Naked Light of Sunday. The Atlanta Falcons, who some predicted wouldn't win a game this season, are now 8 - 4 under a new coach, Mike Smith, and led by a new quarterback, Matt Ryan, who has to be the frontrunner for rookie of the year. What a difference one season makes, leaving behind the debacle of Vick, Harrington, and Pettrino. And for those of you old enough to remember the 70s era Pittsburg Steelers, this. May bring back some memories. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://afreecountry.blogspot.com/2008/11/song-for-you.html
Saturday, November 8, 2008. A Song for You. For those of you who chose to vote for freedom as a whole instead of just parts of it, or even those who refrained from voting for the same reason, this song's for you. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Perhaps while we wait, we could live as if we have the freedom that we want. After all, we do. The only person stopping you from having that freedom is you. Live by example.

It's a Free Country: Another Quote I like
http://afreecountry.blogspot.com/2008/08/another-quote-i-like.html
Tuesday, August 19, 2008. Another Quote I like. If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." Carl Shurz. What I think is important to remember here are two things:. 1 Guaranteeing liberty for your neighbor means not forcing something other than liberty on your neighbor and it. Means not forcing liberty itself on your neighbor. It means using no force against your neighbor, period, except in defense. You Migh...

It's a Free Country: The 2008 Parade of Nations
http://afreecountry.blogspot.com/2008/08/2008-parade-of-nations.html
Saturday, August 9, 2008. The 2008 Parade of Nations. If there is one thing I loved about the 2008 Olympic ceremony, it was the Parade of Nations. For those who are unfamiliar, the Parade of Nations is when each and every nation participating in the Olympics enters the arena with each of its athletes and "parades" around the arena. But, the Parade of Nations, in my opinion, takes the cake. All politics were cast aside. All conflicts cast aside. Only nations represented by seemingly proud citizens...There...

It's a Free Country: A Win for Internet Freedom
http://afreecountry.blogspot.com/2008/08/win-for-internet-freedom.html
Saturday, August 2, 2008. A Win for Internet Freedom. A big win took place for internet freedom yesterday that you can read all about here. Apparently, Comcast was sending fake signals during file-sharing that gave the appearance of certain files being unable to be shared. Some smart guy figured this out, brought it to light, and Comcast denied it (of course). The FCC conducted an investigation and low-and-behold, found out that Comcast was full of shit (big surprise). Telecom companies might be the gate...
