I got my BFA from the University of Kansas in Painting/Sculpture. I then got my MA in Library Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In retrospect, I think my BFA was really in campus activism.

I tired to score the Book of Mormon one time from some rosy-cheeked missionaries. The only problem with getting a free copy was that it entailed return visits from said rosy-cheeked missionaries. More recently I entertained the idea of grabbing a copy from a Marriott hotel, but then I didn't want to see said religious item charged to my hotel bill.

Anybody make it through Stephen J. Gould's new magnum opus?

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in the world today are anarchists, who are busily undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is still trying to form committees."
