I am contacting you because I am working with the authors of a book about blogs. I have seen a photograph of yours that I find beautiful and would like to request permission to include it in this book. If you think this is something you might be interested in please send me an email at hannah@wefeelfine.org and I will send along more details about the project. Hope to talk to you soon!

Sincerely,

Hannah

Note: In order to locate your image later it would be much appreciated if you would include a link to this blog in your response. Thanks again!!

…an infinite regress of homunculi spying on each other… all the way down.

That is the best metaphor/image ever. Love it.

Thanks for the links… I have a lot to say about this stuff, but I’m feeling cranky now and don’t have the energy for a diatribe.

And on the other end of the spectrum: Black and Latino voters rallying behind Obama, but then also providing the necessary support for Prop 8 to fo through in California.

Things aren’t so clear-cut. =(

I’m actually pretty sure that critical-thinking is biased towards the liberal side– that might be why Republicans get to champion their “values” (traditional values which may not be questioned, Biblical literalism, etc), while Dems and independents get caught up in thinking so much that they disillusion themselves right out of the power of their vote. I am so happy we didn’t make that mistake this time. God bless America? :D

I should make the disclaimer that I’m talking about the religious right wing, and not fiscal Republicans, which I have no data on since I haven’t met any (and Richard tells me they don’t exist).

Funny, I was just think about the critical-thinking question on the way home yesterday, and whether any numbers exist on how much that correlates party affiliation.
