... but I did not like the Life of a Showgirl, and criticism of this album has been a wonderful and entertaining distraction.

Album Review: Taylor Swift – 'The Life of a Showgirl'
Taylor Swift has never been less of an underdog, but all throughout 'The Life of a Showgirl' she can't help but cosplay one.

the principle behind "free and open discussion" is more the hallmark of a civilized, literate democracy than it is strictly representative of a free speech ideal. conflating the two is funny because we are actually eating away at that in this country, due to other factors (e.g. social media).

I would argue that the original principle of "free speech" is: we are allowed to say anything we want in the way of criticism against government/other entities as long as it's not harming anyone.
now, people pretend it's "I can say anything I want regardless if it's harmful to any particular group"

this is more of an attempt than I've made to read any heavy-hitting classics (modern or otherwise) post public school. I managed to get 1984 in as it became rather timely, but that one is actually a very short read!
