Nearly 50 years in east Alabama, a surname going back to Vikings invading Scotland, and finally too much religious fundamentalism coupled to reactionary radicalism motivates me. I'll share (rarely as of late) my ideas on politics, learning, ... My clan supposedly uses "Peace ... or War!" Maybe those genes compel me to join issue? (Propservralism = PRogressivism + pOPulism + conSERVatism + libeRAL + pragmatISM) Respectfully, John Gunn

NYT's coverage of Auburn University's Kelly Jolley
Coming after Auburn's loss to LSU last night (The call to not try to get that first down in the second half and instead try to throw deep will haunt me for days!) it is nice to see some positive coverage of AU. It has been twenty years since I took a philosophy course at Auburn and I'm admittedly weak in that field. Perhaps I ought to take a survey course from Professor Kelly Jolley to remedy that deficiency? Jonathan Mahler's NYT Magazine piece titled The Thinker was a good read and to have him describe Haley Center as "a dreary-looking, 10-story building that would have been right at home in Communist East Berlin" was clever and all too correct. War Eagle! John Gunn
