Now we know why Chomsky quotes:
Can't attack the character of a quote
& elitists can't radicalize the peaceful
It is #Regrettable that the #Author... invested the #Book w/ a lot of #MumboJumbo & #HocusPocus involving a #Talisman, a #Female #Witch, & #Ambiguous #Religious #Significance that results in a #Contrived, #Pretentious #Story...
- #Catholic #World's #Review of John #Steinbeck's last #Novel:

Imagine being a 1%'er and trying to conspire with others to devise a multi-year plan to get social media influencers to share more conservative values. Then 1 day one of them finally flat out buys the network you're all posting on.

#December 4, 1896
#OTD Edna Walling, #Australian #GardenDesigner & #Writer, is born.
Edna's #Naturalistic #Gardens never felt #Contrived or overly planned.
Edna #Randomly threw #Potatoes on the ground, & planted #Trees in those spots.

Edna embraced the #Beauty of #Random.
