My English degrees (BA/MA) have provided me with steady employment for 40 years in fields from computer games to law to motion pictures. I wouldn’t change a thing about my choice of major!

I'd say it's called an experiment because we're still trying to hammer it out. We haven't got large-scale democracy working properly yet (and aren't sure we ever will) but we keep banging away. Calling it an "experiment" is, to me, an acknowledgement that we're not there yet and could still fail.

English major here, steadily employed since the early 80s. My parents told me college was primarily for learning how to learn throughout life, and that advice served me well.

Sunset here in Michigan is at 9:14 PM tonight, but light will linger till after 10pm. It's magical repayment for the gloom of winter. They will tear Daylight Saving Time out of my cold dead hands. 🌞

Hillary Clinton was right about everything, too. We are a very unserious country these days....

Our house was built in 1924 -- maybe your place is from roughly the same era?

A vastly inferior shot to yours, but we have a similar shelf where our opposite-of white cats like to perch....

The same folks who “don’t want to pay for other people’s health care” would 100% expect others to pay for it when their house burns down — that’s literally how insurance works.
