Hello to you all. I'm Fenella and if I told you my age you would never believe it, but I still have a few marbles left. Reading, painting and the internet are my lifelines.Still love the poetry of my youth, Hiawatha.Ballad of East and West. The Traveller. Hope to renew my acquaintance with old and new.
Hello! I am probably among the younger members of this site. I am a junior in high school, and I love to write. I have been doing a lot of thinking about what I want to do after college, and writing is a possibility, so I thought I'd find a way to get feedback. Let's face it, asking mom if your story is any good has a slightly biased return.
I also love discussing books, so I will definitely go check out that section of the forum as well.
I look forward to learning more about you all!
Hi everyone!
I am very happy to have come across this website - literature plays an important role in my life primarily because it has allowed me to reflect, keep things in perspective and make sense of various moments and processes experienced during my time in the army but also now at the office. I look forward to get in touch with people that share an interest in US,German and Russian literature.
Hi everyone!
(Oh no, I used the last poster's greeting!)
I am a twenty-year old university student looking for a place to discuss books outside the classroom. This is especially true for the summer, when I have very few people to "talk literature" with. When I found this site I knew I had struck gold -- taken aback by all the enthusiasm, it dawned on me that this is perhaps the number one spot for book-lovers on the web. Sixty thousand members... this place is more populous than my hometown!
I look forward to some engaging discussions (especially over some nice food... as I write this my eyes dart between the screen and my Turkey Pastrami. Apple Cider, anyone?)

To understand who I am read something I have written:
Compare and Contrast Parental vs. Public Entity Responsibilities
Parents who have been laid off are not relieved of their responsibilities. They still have to feed, clothe, and house their families. Those parents cannot say to their children you are now going to have to pay for the privileges that you previously enjoyed at our expense. Public entities should be no different. The concept that public entities should be able to further burden those parents who have been laid off and are desperately trying to make ends meet due to the current economic problems of this nation is insane. This statement applies to public utilities, and to our governmental elements at all levels, city, county, and federal.
That SRP's application for a rate increase application be approved at this time is pure insanity. SRP should be advised to do as all of us who are in the same situation of trying to make ends meet. “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” Do not lay people off and make the situation worse either. Instead, tell SRP and the government entities to "live within your means." One example would be to cut the wages of all those in the entity still making more than the poverty level by a percentage large enough to eliminate that portion of whatever the entity's shortfall is that the management of the entity report cannot be eliminated by other means. This last one must apply to management in particular, perhaps at an even greater percentage that it does to those at the lower levels. Would not this give management incentive to solve the problems or else suffer a pay cut?
The concept of instituting new fees for services not previously charged for, or increasing the fees or charges for services, at this time is equally insane. Just because some poor sucker's head is under the guillotine is not sufficient reason to drop the blade because you have the power to do so. The more money that is required of those who are in danger of having their houses foreclosed, the more foreclosures will occur. The more foreclosures occur, the more the prices of property will drop. Does not anyone get it? Anytime you increase prices or allow prices to increase, in an economic depression the worse, you make the depression.
While we are at it, tell those senators and congress members to eliminate those special medical benefits that they deny all others. Tell them to give back all raises that they gave themselves in the period of this economic crisis. Why is it that it is acceptable to grant all senators and members of congress unlimited health care at the expense of the state but it is socialism to grant any health care to all the citizens of the state? I am not so much in favor of universal healthcare as I am against the concepts described in the book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, where "all are equal but some are more equal than others." This is especially true when those who can most afford health care receive it free at the expense of those who cannot afford healthcare.
Hello, everyone. I'm Laura. I have responded to a post and am now introducting myself. I guess I'm one of the older crowd here, too. Unlike Virgil, however, with my age comes little wisdom. I do enjoy reading and have read quite a bit. But I am not a scholar. Currently getting back to one of my favorite authors, Erich Fromm. He was an amazing philosopher. I don't really enjoy talking about myself. I am an observer more than a participant. But I don't want to be completely unsociable either. Now, on to more posts.
