I saw them with my eldest sister, a total boomer, at the beautiful Fox Theater in St. Louis in 2004. Poor Mary was a wreck. She’d hurt her leg or something somehow, allegedly, and was all doped up. She bonked her head on the mic a couple of times.

She could still sing, tho.

umm.. as i get to writing comments, i am struck with the question; how did I get here. Oh, yes.. was looking if someone used Kindle to aid children with autism. So Kindle and Autism made google get me here. But there was no answer to that, but i enjoyed the play of words and our complicated life. I wonder where will be my kid at 30. If I can communicate this far with him, thats great !! Nice post

Interesting blog. “Before the Dawn” by Nicholas Wade has an interesting genetic interpretation along similar lines.

Comment on Heterogeneous classes by Joakim

It is important that this topic is highlighted. We destroy the childhoods and futures of children by the current egalitarian policies. I spent my childhood in a Procrustean bed where I was supposed to learn things I already mastered. It bereaved me of stimulus and opportunity and made me discontented and rebellious. The only good thing that came out of it was that I came to hate equality with a stronger passion than I might otherwise have done. The less clever children also suffered from having to play the roles of equals. I read the report about their problems with sympathy. Although we suffered in different ways, we were victims of the same ideology.

Haven’t any of these “simplified spelling” proponents read Mark Twain?

The People’s Republic of China adopted simplified spelling, in the form of simplified characters, in the name of improved literacy, but the political purpose was to obliterate access to written history that did not conform to the party’s vision.

Please don’t say things like this without ample evidence.
