Yes, I see the site that shall not be named has that article, and I intend to read it. I have at times in my life been very concerned about anti-intellectualism as a founding American value, exemplified, I thought, in "Huckleberry Finn" and then too often in our electoral processes. My PhD studies in critical theory led so far from the experience and meaning of literature that they turned me against the whole enterprise of unproductive high thought. I got my degree in 1995, and could probably back off a little from that reaction now.

Our culture forces us to take sides. I've blogged about this as well from an astrological perspective.<br />http://ohioastrology.wordpress.com/2011/09/08/duality-and-polarity-astrological-style/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123326368423499292.post-48313684149515623982011-12-05T21:18:00.803-05:002011-12-05T21:18:00.803-05:00I have also wondered why so many atheists are also...I have also wondered why so many atheists are also such angry people. Do the 2 truly go hand in hand? I sit comfortably on my fence and wonder why people have to put themselves into clubs.
