He is a world author. An anecdote: When Orwell went to Paris in 1944/45 as correspondent, he believed [rightly] that the communists were out to kill him. He asked Miller for protection, and Miller gave him a pistol and a couple of guys to watch his back. (Orwell only accepted the pistol.) Miller is perhaps the first native World Writer from the American continent [excepting Clemens]. What can you guys have studied in the humanities instead?! Phil |

Seemed like you missed the nexus of what I originally said. Maybe. Or well, maybe it just wasn't funny. But *I* thought it was a nais try. |

After all, you can't be a coward ALL your life..... You are just a baby Matt, and know not what you say. If we ever meet, it will be interesting to see how brave you are, in person ![]() Phil's back and making new friends. Ahshel. Both here and on the Shakespeare newsgroup. |

Of course, another posibility is that one of the premises is false. David the Uneducated "David the Uneducated," are you not aware that Mr. Tueschen has called, perhaps *ten thousand* different posters "uneducated" or lacking in education, yet over the course of many years has himself demonstrated an amazing ignorance of many subjects? His latest gaffe was his gross misinterpretation of Michael Jackson's "moves" during performances, which Her Tueschen called "scratching." It is nigh well impossible to scratch oneself through leather pants, however tight they may be.... :-) A phrase leaps to mind, a phrase from Mr. Tueschen's own vocabulary: "culture shock." Much is lost in translation from true Americana, to German "academic," or vice versa. And when you see yourself as an "academic," as well as much smarter than everyone else (including other "academics"), well, a hammer tends to see everything as a nail. Of course, another posibility is that one of the premises is false. Possibility (two s's). :-) |
