well written history is always a good read. bradley sounds like a good author to put on the to-read list. also, had no idea about george hw bush's war history...interesting :0
Oy. It looks like it's not John C. Wright's attention I caught, but our old friend fpb, who still posts on my LJ while swearing that he's never going to post here again, and now apparently goes yipping to his online friends to try to get them to flame me so he can pretend he's sticking to his resolution.
What books of Dawkins's would you recommend? I've kind of been meaning to pick up The Selfish Gene for a little while, but are there any others worth checking out?
I have read The God Delusion and assumed, based on the acclaim that man gets, that it was an off-note targeted to the talk-show host audience.
Ironically enough, I haven't read any of Dawkin's books. It's his activism on behalf of atheists (and being a lightning rod) that I respect. As an individual, I think he's a bit of a cranky old man and I'm not enamored of his investment in evolutionary psychology.
I wonder whether it means anything that nobody except one prospective Dawkins groupie has commented on this sequence of enormities. I would have expected at least one particular person to do so while doing little up and down jumps of glee. But maybe this was too much even for him. Of course, I will probably be proved wrong in a few hours.
