Book Review: The wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
“…every chapter contained either badly written guff or morally questionable material…” Recently, I’ve been reviewing Christmas shows at various theatres. At Theatre by the Lake in Keswick, The Wizard of Oz was their seasonal production last Christmas. It was a very interesting attempt to reinvent the story and make a new kind of musical out […]

End Times is far from a perfect work, but it is a wonderful resource of interesting theories that beg to be talked about. Turchin lays out his theory, ostensibly predictive, of 'cliodynamics' that deals with the dynamics of 'end times' of political st ...more |

“The Normal is the good smile in a child's eyes:-alright. It is also the dead stare in a million adults. It both sustains and kills-like a god. It is the Ordinary made beautiful: it is also the Average made lethal. The Normal is the indispensable, murderous God of Health, and I am his priest. My tools are very delicate. My compassion is honest. I have honestly assisted children in this room. I have talked away terrors and relieved many agonies. But also-beyond question-I have cut from the parts of individuality repugnant to this god, in both his aspects. Parts sacred to rarer and more wonderful gods. And at what length...Sacrifices to Zeus took at the most, surely, sixty seconds each. Sacrifices to the Normal can take as long as sixty months.”
