"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
Just heard on Jay Leno that injuries involving fireworks hit an all-time high this year.
Suppose it has anything to do with the hyperventilating, chest-thumping, mouth-breathing "patriotism" the right has been enforcing? I can see it--what godfearing parent is going to tell Little Dylan he can't play with explosives for America? Even Iraqi and Afghanistani kids are doing it. posted by David at 7/08/2003 11:49:00 PM ::
