Alvina's recent post about race has made me rather introspective--making me examine the journey to my own professional identity. But this entry that I recently found wipes away my attempts of detached intellectualism and leaves me sad.
It makes me despair. And it's so poorly written! The language may seem a really minor point compared to what he is saying, *I* think these two are related. "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell draws the connection between the two far more eloquently than I can.
Yes, it is sad that people think this way. And it makes me sad that you, my dear friend, had to read it!
I'm a children's book author and illustrator which means my secret life is full of drama, intrigue, adventure...and fuzzy bunny slippers.More about me at: www.gracelin.com
