lucid said...: The pleasure the reviewer takes in the idea that humanity is "insignificant" is a marker of the cutural and intellectual decadence that infests liberals and leftists.

It is a result of their having been enormously overindulged and underchallenged.

They are going to get eaten alive by the non-decadent portions of the American citizenry.

Then they will know what horror really is.; 8/14/10, 8:23 AM

I'd recommend the red one.

I thought this was cleverly done. I especially liked the globe.; 8/14/10, 11:30 AM

Or you could look at it that 1908 was over 100 years ago. I think anything over a hundred years ago qualifies as way back, living memory or no.; 8/14/10, 12:13 PM
