She saw no fundamental difference between Tucker's 'individualist' anarchism and collectivist anarchism, terming it a 'clerico-libertarian' doctrine -- a criticism with which she could have quoted Stirner and proclaimed: Our anarchists are pious people! Tucker was angered and finally broke off the debate
Partying on Parnassus: the New York School Poets by John Simon
A polemic review by John Simon.
Ambiguity, too, may be a legitimate device, but it should not be confused with the mainstay of much New York School (henceforth NYS ) stuff: openness to infinite, arbitrary, private readings— quot homines, tot sententiae
I merely quoted from the autobiographical poem “Europe” the line “He had mistaken his book for garbage, ” adding that “I do not think it is up to us to know better than the poet.” I knew Koch at Harvard equally slightly
I learn from Lehman that this review, though mostly favorable, elicited an “Ode, ” jointly written by O’Hara and Schuyler, that starts out lampooning me and then proceeds to one of the “harmonious workings of two ‘quite singular’ sensibilities.” The best lines, as quoted by Lehman, begin: “if I did go out on the fire escape and piss on myself in the rain/ which is, I suppose, the male equivalent of a good cry/ I might not ever want to come in again/ I would be emptying myself forever like a masthead for love.” Who, I wonder, in this harmonious outpouring, is the pisser on the fire escape, O’Hara or Schuyler? For all their kindred sensibilities, they were not, after all, Siamese twins

In On the Nature of Things he wrote "human life lay foul before men's eyes, crushed to the dust beneath religion's weight." Leah Kronenberg tells me that Lucretius was a dedicated Epicurean, and thus gods do exist, but have no interest in human affairs

Giraldus Cambrensis The twelfth-century cleric was one of the first to describe Irish music.
Page examines some of his tantalizing remarks, and how they relate to harmony.
Translate this page into Giraldus Cambrensis One of the first writers to describe Irish music was the twelfth-century cleric Giraldus Cambrensis (which means "Gerald of Wales")
In general Giraldus was very critical of the Irish, saying that they were a bunch of idle louts who spent their time lazing about and growing their hair long, which makes him sound rather like a critic of the Sixties "counterculture"
In between, there are a number of independent melody lines in progress, but not what could be described as "harmony"
I've included a quotation from Joan Rimmer which I cited elsewhere, and also some material posted on rec.music.early by Margo Schulter, to whom I'm very grateful for doing all that work
Much clearer and more precise is the passage in the same writer's Itinerarium Cambriae, where he says that the Welsh "do not sing in unison like the people of other lands, but sing in different parts." He also observes that the people of North Britain, "beyond the Humber, " use "a similar kind of harmony ..
in the treble." Giraldus hints that this novelty was due to Scandinavian influence, on which account some writers urge that Scandinavia was the point de départ of this novelty, to which proof they bring forward the 13th century Upsala manuscript which shows the use of parallel thirds throughout
Straight Dope Staff Report: Did humans descend from "aquatic apes"?
A Straight Dope column criticizing the aquatic ape hypothesis.
Let's look point-by-point at the facts that suggested the hypothesis, as Hardy first published it in April 1960 (quotations are from his article 'Was Man More Aquatic in the Past?' in New Scientist , volume 7, reprinted in Morgan's The Aquatic Ape ): '
"All the curves of the human body have the beauty of a well-designed boat
subcutaneous fat is a characteristic that distinguishes Man from the other primates." It is true that many aquatic animals have a thick layer of subcutaneous fat, but not, as Hardy supposed, for insulation
." The idea here is that a primate tends to stand erect when wading in water, if it's deep enough
It is in the gap of some ten million years, or more, between Proconsul and Australopithecus that I suppose Man to have been cradled in the sea." It wasn't until recently that we knew how wrong Hardy was on this point

support Newman's assertion that "the body of the faithful is one of the witnesses ...
For decades, until well after World War II, English Catholicism faced the constant challenged that it was both Unenglish and intellectually and morally deficient ("the Italian mission to the Irish")
In an editorial Newman, apologized to the bishops for The Rambler having contradicted them, but then went on to claim that "If even in the preparation of a dogmatic definition, the faithful are consulted, as lately in the instance of the Immaculate Conception, it is at least natural to anticipate such an act pf kind feeling and sympathy in great practical questions..."
This may be thought of by some as "consulatation"; others will see it as ecclesiastical bonapartism.] The bishops were not happy, and Newman was asked to resign, which he did
122: "In the preparation of a dogmatic definition, the faithful are consulted, as lately in the instance of the Immaculate Conception." Now two questions bearing upon doctrine have been raised on this sentence, putting aside the question of fact as regards the particular instance cited, which must follow the decision on the doctrinal questions: viz
SAAC - Connecticut Automobile License Plates Page
Thorough examination of the evolution of Connecticut's Early Auto ("EA") series
of license plates.
To start out, I've posted a photo of some Connecticut "EarlyAmerican" plates and also a couple of my favorite licenseplate links
I am also an"enthusiast" of CT's standard blue"passenger" plates, and eventually would like to postsome pictures of some of the "vanity"-issue ones I'veowned over the years
The image below shows four variations in Connecticut EarlyAmerican ("EA") automobile registration plates
A relatively recent innovation in CT EA plates (within thepast, say, 5 years or so?) is that "vanity" EA platesare now available
"Vanity" options for EA's are morelimited than normal passenger plates--here is the CT DMV web sitepage link with the specific EA "vanity" optionsinfo: .I have a favorite "vanity" EA plate currently on my '68Bug: "GEAR" (a reference to my Common Gear antiqueVW web site project); I'll try to eventually get a picture of itposted here
I have registered automobiles with EA plates both from"original" registration, and also accomplished it byconverting an already-registered (with normal passenger plates)vehicle

Not-only-Bright(a new atheistic "bright" philosophic horizon)
The naturalism of the Bright Movement is present in Real Dualism, but even an
anthropologic analysis that get over the traditional materialism.
| Not-only-Bright The Bright movement is a very interesting contemporaneous approach to life and existence problems under a poin of view "naturalistic" (free from supernatural and mystical elements)
The representatives of the movement affirm that "bright" is a worldiew and not a philosophy, but a person can be bright and also to think according to some philosophy
A new philosophic weltanschauung therefore, that is an atheism not-nihilistic, that proposes rather than to deny something, and indicates an existential "bright" and naturalistic horizon very near to that of the Bright movement one
