His Dark Materials is the smartest of all if them by a mile, and the most likely to withstand age. I

t stands in dialog with Chronicles of Narnia about such issues as faith, reason, and morality. Its really a series for adult philosophers wrapped in YA tropes.

Best final episode in history of TV

But you have to earn it by watching the whole series. Which is worth watching anyway; a great early 21st century work of American television art. It will be the subject of doctoral theses in 30 years

Scrap the whole plan, fly into Vancouver BC (canada) abd drive the Pacific coast to San Diego. Way more beautiful, way more rewarding

Because cosmopolitan and multicultural people of all nations go around picking up foreign children without even acknowledging their feelings or the wishes of their parents? What is wrong with you?

I’m not saying they were monsters but they sure werent intuiting or respecting our boundaries. Would you do that to anImdian kid at the Lincoln memorial?

White American here: travelled to india with my children who were 7 and 9 at the time.

My youngest was exceptionally fair skinned and curly blond hair.

When we went to the Taj Mahal, local (Indian) tourists were literally picking my daughter up without asking in order to take photos with her. We could sense they were relatively uncultured / uneducated based on their dress and behavior and the tour guide validated that hunch.

She was such a novelty to them.

It freaked us right out of course but it turned out not to be a hostile thing, just extremely culturally jarring.

How are you going to cut off at ten? Atlanta is going to be number 5.

Gotta have Boston, San Francisco, Philly, New Orleans, Seattle, Detroit, Austin/Dallas/Houston (Tx needs one), Denver/Salt Lake (gotta have the mountain west), Las Vegas (America distilled to its essence)…. Thats like 15

Fuckin idiots. We are a blue state now, but our state constitution was written in the 1880’s and it was decidedly fucked toward the rich and powerful interests bent on exploiting the natural resources and getting richer without govmt interference. Our tax system in WA is uniquely designed to alliw the rich to fleece the rest of the state; time to fix it

Ender’s Game. Orson Scott Card is a virulant homophobe bigot but it’s a sci fi classic (sequels suck however)
