I grew up this way. We were poor.
Mom and I put in a two-acre vegetable garden every year —canning, freezing.... I raised 100 baby chicks which we butchered in the fall. We had pigs, a milk cow.
It took 5-8 acres. We still bought salt, sugar, flour....
It was damned hard work.
This is a joke.

Chocolate? Because I'll chip in — it's been one of those days for some reason.

Question:
Dropping a bomb on a nuclear facility seems particularly foolhardy. I know Iran is saying that they've moved things to a secure location, but....
It feels like Trump didn't just start WWIII, he risked starting a nuclear chain reaction. True?

I probably should have phrased it 'in spite of what we taught.'
I see hope in the rise of independent journalists, but I read a lot. Too many don't, and we are not seeing a commitment to civic journalism on the national media, neither print or broadcast.
Instead we're seeing a dystopian movie.

I used your book — and Postman's — in my advanced mass media and society class.
I'm not sure if we were over-optimistic or naive, but they've managed to make a dystopian movie out of what we taught.

And not just platforming neo-Nazis, but ones ignorant of history. Every history department I've known have had some pretty right-wing (white, male, ofc) professors already.
But Holocaust deniers? No, ignorant isn't a diversity of viewpoints.
