Gently ... composition as a course teaches us how to package ideas to an audience for understanding.

The skill being taught is thinking

Good point about kids leaving the state. When I was finishing grad school at UW-Madison, I had the opportunity to teach in SD, but after five years of Wisconsin winters, we went to New Guinea instead.

Wasn't that long ago that South Dakota had Democratic Senators. Tim Johnson served until 2015, Tom Daschle until 2005. Blue wave could get rid of Republican sycophant Mike Rounds.

But the six rightist Supremes see the permanent enshrinement of oligarchy/autocracy as a good thing. Appeals to conscience won’t work.

Reason most Trump projects are under-budget? He always stiffs the contractors and workers.

We live across the street from the best big-screen movie theater in the world, Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade. Seeing films there has made it impossible for me to watch them on the TV, much less a phone.

This is a really good piece!
