Ferrets and stray thoughts on politics, people and other stuff. Monday, April 13, 2009. 10 things that my addiction to the Twilight series of books has brought to my attention (Now with all new bonus reflections! 1) Wow…look, that’s that plot curve thing that they talked about in high school…is the really long flat part an extended exposition or really slowly rising action? 4) Relatively cheap thrills. I’ve been reading and rereading the same books for the last few months. 7) A reaffirmation of the effec...

Karen's Blog: Independence in America becomes isolation and loneliness
http://alenaae.blogspot.com/2009/02/independence-in-america-becomes.html
Ferrets and stray thoughts on politics, people and other stuff. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Independence in America becomes isolation and loneliness. I've been saying this for years. Now I'm hearing a program on the radio about a book that says the same thing:. And Richard S. Schwartz. Basically, we spend so much time being being independent that we forget to have connections to people. Then we wonder why we get depressed. Labels: observations on life. 9:51 AM, February 20, 2009.

Karen's Blog: Note on the distinction between living and dead languages
http://alenaae.blogspot.com/2009/02/note-on-distinction-between-living-and.html
Ferrets and stray thoughts on politics, people and other stuff. Saturday, February 21, 2009. Note on the distinction between living and dead languages. If you aren't able to watch a mainstream movie in the language that you are studying, then the language you are learning is not a living language. Unless, of course, it is a language that simply isn't spoken by enough people with enough money for them to have made movies in that language.). Let's take some examples:. Lol what about Aramaic? As far as Klin...

Karen's Blog: Demonizing the other
http://alenaae.blogspot.com/2009/07/demonizing-other.html
Ferrets and stray thoughts on politics, people and other stuff. Sunday, July 05, 2009. It never ceases to amaze me how people from opposite political ideologies can take the same argument and use it against each other. I posted on Martin Niemöller's poem of injustice on the part of the Nazis and the enlightened self-interest involved in speaking out against injustice. In the comments section, someone just posted this:. These are the people who put a non-citizen in our White House. Re: The Obama supporter...

Ferrets and stray thoughts on politics, people and other stuff. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. 5 children a day accused of being witches in Nigeria - EVERY DAY! Photo: ©Robin Hammond. And being accused of being a witch means a horrible life, or often death for the poor child. If the parents aren't willing or able to pay a preacher to chase out the devil, then the child is abandoned, or mutilated, or killed, or a combination of that. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch?

Ferrets and stray thoughts on politics, people and other stuff. Thursday, March 26, 2009. Language is a tool! No form of language is. Superior to any other in any. Absolute sense outside of. J Cummins, 2000; p. 77). Did you design it, or does it just seem custom made for a linguist? 6:31 AM, April 02, 2009. I designed it. :) I was inspired by a class discussion and the frequency the times that I felt it necessary to comment that language is a tool during the last semester. 8:29 PM, April 02, 2009.
