Speaking of fear, your blog-palsie Kirby-the Klansman's recent Falwellian rants should upset literary-blogdom like, taken as a whole. It's amazing he's still allowed to teach.
Note KO's vast, stupid generalizations: all democrats hate western Civ. Complete bullsh**t. He hates western civilization, as far as it pertains to Reason.
Then his predictable attacks on Ginsberg-the leftist straw-man. Few people read beat poesy anyway (though Kirby-O supposedly specializes in it). I suspect many democrats and leftists don't care for Ginzo, or beats (I'm not a big fan of the beats, though On the Road an entertaining book--and somewhat profound). He doesn't even bother criticizing the literary works themselves.
It's just pure hick WASP paranoia and flagwaving--, not even say William F Buckley-like witty, cynical conservativism. He's ...uno pedazo de blanca-basura.
kirby's intention is to keep a cyberconversation going and by any standard he is quite successful he can boast blog comment streams in excess of 200 by people from quite varied backgrounds he sees the importance of humor and he believes that people can be civilized and polite and he's willing to accept a lot in terms of volitility too
when i first went over there i was well what should i say tending toward some incendiary rhetoric but as i danced along i became rather enamoured of his style of poking fun and instigating reactions and playing it all pretty cool...he believes it is possible to be intelligent and funny and serious and faithful all at the same time i applaud his effort
so much of what i read in the open exchanges in the blog world descends rather quickly to anger and hateful rhetoric
and interesting phenomenon but i don't have time for it
kirby knows what he knows and he continues to read and entertain other points of view
if you'd like i could send you his doctoral thesis on gregory corso ...he looked into the beats with a seriousness that few others broached
he also wrote a crazy novel
politically i think he is a centrist leaning to the right he's read his homework he knows locke he knows madison he knows the cultural strengths and delusions of USA
i suspect the indentured literary lit world sees him as a troubled but innocuous birdbrain
i see him as a real gentleman crazy as a friggin loon but a real mensch
lighten up on the judgement pal this is a place for some fun
i find your comments on my blog rather cryptic at times but you're still welcome
