This is probably from around 1967 or 1968. At least, that’s the box (“Publications, 1967-1968”) that whoever compiled the Oklahoma Peanut Commission Records thinks it should be stored in. It doesn’t appear to make any attempt to live up to its superti ...more |

"Applebaum, with extraordinary deftness, explains the history of the Soviet concentration camps as well how life was like in the camps. After the Bolsheviks took power, they created early forced-labor concentration camps to imprison political opponent"

“The Insanity of Jones” is amazing. It’s subtitled “A Study in Reincarnation” but there is nothing in it that requires reincarnation to exist. The title could well be correct all on its own....more |

Amora's review
of
Inspired: Understanding Creativity: A Journey Through Art, Science, and the Soul:
"We are creativity machines. Human ingenuity is evident just from looking around us and seeing all the inventions we've created. The sources of creativity come from a number of interesting and unexpected sources. Interestingly enough, the relationship"

| The Crock•Pot Model 3500 appears to have been a short-lived special casserole model in the early to mid seventies. I can only find ads for it between late 1973 and late 1975. It’s about 3 quarts (the small print below “3 QUART SIZE” reads “2½ Qt. Use ...more | |
“The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau.”

“The great hatred of capitalism in the hearts of the oppressed, ancient and modern, I think, stems not merely from the ensuing vast inequality in wealth, and the often unfair and arbitrary nature of who profits and who suffers, but from the silent acknowledgement that under a free market economy the many victims of the greed of the few are still better off than those under the utopian socialism of the well-intended. It is a hard thing for the poor to acknowledge benefits from their rich moral inferiors who never so intended it. (p.272)”

“Victory may now require a level of force deemed objectionable by civilized peoples, meaning that some, for justifiable reasons, may be reluctant to pursue it. But victory has not become an ossified concept altogether.”
