A question of what was seen as a positive in Bush during the last two elections is a good one, but this is a hard time to think about that, because the cloud of the Iraq war is hanging over this presidency so thoroughly. Hmmmmm? This really made me go back and try to examine why I asked such an of ...

Nice to see you here, Windy! Good points have been made all around, which I think has been helpful in explaining where people are coming from. However, I have to admit that I mostly agree with Faramond. As misguided and destructive as I believe Bush's policies to have been, I can not even begin to c...

I guess it depends on whether one approaches LotR as a collection of historical documents to be pored over and pieced together, or whether one approaches the book itself, at least, as a narrative that ought to be able to stand on its own. Yes, I agree. I certainly do not mean to imply that the latt...

Re: The Heroship of Faramir
Now this is a much more difficult thing that Faramir does, but how? Why? What makes him able to do that? That's what I want to know about him, and that's what the book doesn't tell me. He is a Good Guy, and therefore he can and does do the Good Thing. <shrug> It looks easy; how admirable is it? The...

It was clearly extremely naive of me to think that it would be possible to start a thread about President Bush and not have it turn into a vehicle for Bush-bashing. I think it is fair to say that I oppose what Bush has done (or, more accurately, allowed to have done in his name) as much as anyone, b...

But it's a pity that Voronwë didn't chime in, because that would've been most illuminating. Voronwë, you also said that the democratic candidates were unappealing. And I find it really hard to imagine that you'd be put off by someone who's speaking in full sentences or uses five-dollar words. Or ma...
