Popular cult...Self-censor what you don't like. Popular culture has always been with us. Send your grandkids to military school on your golden nickel. Who said none of it is of more value than anything else? But Milton and Spenser are a drag and the language has evolved/devolved since those days of Shakeapeare too. Still, worthy of study but we got to STEM it out now, you know.Mr. Dingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012432470112143051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513645860996121165.post-18936418671190468102017-02-24T05:03:04.935-08:002017-02-24T05:03:04.935-08:00Yeah, no big deal . . .

In fact, it's the Golden Age for it. As for the money, follow the trail, but eschew following it all the way to where?Mr. Dingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012432470112143051noreply@blogger.com
