I'm self-centered and ignorant.<BR/><BR/>Wow, crazy thoughtfulness. I would imagine your students are pleasantly (maybe not by their desires) challenged by your curricular exercises. (Like I was just trying to put that sentence together.) But, I agree with Adam Go (though I like history): you make it sound as interestingly complex as I imagine history really is.<BR/><BR/>And cool blog format, too. Nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17636597.post-1140743688622613632006-02-23T19:14:00.000-06:002006-02-23T19:14:00.000-06:00Great post Cory.

I think the line about getting what we asked for and reconsidering our requests is hauntingly sad.<BR/><BR/>I just stared reading "The Place You Love is Gone" My Melissa Holbrook Pierson. A beautiful book about loss of place and time. I'm only thirty-some pages in but my favorite line so far (there are many) is how we've been fooled into selling "our birthright to the Devil in exchange for a wide selection of bath mats." The Times review likened book to a "punk rock girl sitting in the rear pews at church, offering a counternarrative: what she says about the patriarchy and the raping of the land is true but the priests wish her parents would drag the girl home; the organ player pipes louder in order to drown the punk's anti-establishment rant. But she'll chain herself to the altar and she will sing, too. "Genocidal Greed" is the title of her song." <BR/><BR/>I offer the quote mostly as the best description I've ever heard of the woman I want to marry, but also to identify the song your singing. I'll hum a few bars with you as I consider what we can make of choices we have. ThanksJaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268233330331784205noreply@blogger.com
