Harold dear: But can you put the Bible, Quran, Torah, Silent Spring, Mein Kampf, , Wind, Sand and Stars, War and Peace, Heart of Darkness, The Count of Monte Christo in a little storage box marked ‘print’, squashed in there with double-page spreads for Ford trucks, Tampax ads and Reader’sDigest condensations? Books start wars, movements, religions, imaginations, thinking, raging. Is it worth considering that blogs are just print with the thinking time removed so they can fit in a conversational delivery system? Are more blogs necessarily better thinking? The explosive increase in crafts shows only resulted in a plethora of the same old stuff. Was an extraordinary petitpoint pillow created that blew apart the crafts world? Ask Andrea and let me know. When we decrease construction (thinking) time do we decrease quality of thought? When we increase blog numbers do we increase quality? And how do you sort through the crap? The oral tradition was right there in your face, reciprocal. Everyone receiving while they gave. It took time, not just intimacy. Time is something to which we should pay more attention. We need to challenge more assumptions, ask more questions with less cheerleader agreement about what a clever time we live within. We’re far too accepting of the present. Sorry, got to go, I’m out of meds.
