Let's say you are an 18-year-old kid with a really big brain. You're trying to figure out which field of study you should devote your life to, so you can understand the forces that will be shaping history for decades to come.
Go into the field that barely exists: cultural geography. Study why and how people cluster, why certain national traits endure over centuries, why certain cultures embrace technology and economic growth and others resist them.
This is the line of inquiry that is now impolite to pursue.
If only there had been such a course of study where I went to school.

Where's your post about Cindy Sheehan? Everyone else seems go have one. Aren't you going to jump on the liberal blogging train? Call Bush an emperor with no clothes or compare Mrs. Sheehan to Rosa Parks? The people want answers Tim!
ReplyDeleteErm...
ReplyDeleteBush is naked, dammit!
And Cindy Sheehan should be proud of riding in the front of the bus, where that little bench that lifts for handicapped people is!
Hurray for America!
(The problem is, I read all of these blogs and I get to asking, what can I add? And when the answer is "nothing," I write that. I forget that I am the only blogwhore here).
