Borders as a Civilizational Godsend

[Carl Remick]

Re Greg's:  "The fact of the matter is that
getting people to READ ANYTHING is already a progessive
act.  I mean, even getting them to read a gardening
book."

*Even* a gardening book!  Please, I think that cultivating an
appreciation of gardening is *at least* as important as cultivating
one's intellect. Gardening is one of the key things I enjoy since I
stopped living in New York City to become a commuter from the suburbs
... apart from not being under the thumb of Rudy Giuliani's regime.
