jon...look. I get your lack of trust. But wow...you did not say that I would "try" or "want" or "attempt" to dig into your psyche and strip away whatever humanity you have...you wrote as if I...

jon1 et al:

You know...I thought we were begining to actually reach a point of mutual respect. At least that is what I hoped would happen since our exchange of posts at the grammar forum. You...

You can google: The Boys of Baraka and click on the loki.com link...that is the company that produced the video and their homepage will take you to the specific site for this documentary.

There is a wonderful,sad, uplifting documentary called The Boys Of Baraka. It came out, I believe, just last year and got considerable praise.

The film focuses on a group of about 15 young boys...

I got a darn grin on my face. I actually were not too sure just what the "wasn't" was doing there since it were so obviously wrongs. You set me up now didn't cha. :)

And I hope that if I ever...

You have no idea whatsoever what I would write to a member of the hip-hop community if they were in this forum. I am writing to you about you based on my internet connection with you. Do not...

Upon further thought...yes I would date myself but the question is dating and not long term committments right?

I could be fun for a run through the fields of sheets, mornings and...oh Joni...

I do not think that we can easily distinguish our thoughts about prescriptive grammar from our school days experience when it was, I assume, taught to the youth we were.

Ya know the picture, dry,...

jon1...hmmm....we have spent quite a bit of time here in lit land. I have to say that you present a bit of a paradox...but that is good...we all do.

You seem to be both "let it go with the wind"...

you mean "weren't" the rules...

Juliet, I did not mean it to be advice as regards "negavie messages for you and your peers"...that does not do justice to the point I was attempting to make.

Not communicating respect to students...

It does not seem possible, to me, to fail unless there is some idea, concept, of success. Now the idea may be totally un-realistic like me learning to leap off tall buildings and fly but there can...

I do think it is important for those who are teaching young people to treat them with as much respect as one can. I believe you to be a teacher who cares quite a bit about the students in her class...

Sure. But first...can we learn some about each other so we can talk to each other and not at each other. I do not...my words do not reflect my ideals...how I communicate is not how I would like to...

Honest question: If you were not "speaking for all" does that mean that your observations about art and its relation to culture is not entirely true?

How do we communicate respect to...

Based on the above my question to stluke is: what was motivating the repeated use of "I". If, on the one hand, the intent was to limit the observations to clearly being "solely" your own and not...

I admit to not knowing you...but...well....at the very least you are a "weird" "doormat" and that's something....:)

wow...I wrote a typo..."door-mate"...hmmm



well...if "me" and 'myself" are...

Hey...yo...me...I have had plenty of crusades as well...and if one thing is for surety...they are as tough to give up as a "damn where's that other dime" addiction.

Why? Well guess its cause the...

I think, imagine, hope that the tension tug pull of "opposition" remains a forever feature of this universe. Up and downs...happies and "god freaking omg" we live within dark and muddy places...

Can you explain what you mean by this statement?


Sure. I read the definition of culture posted a little while ago and one thing that struck me is that culture is essentially an inevitable...
