In reply to gawd, Princess Diana is such

I can see that my response could be misunderstood, I put a parenthetical clause in the wrong place. I intended to make it clear in my agreement with you about my little interest in American popular cultural stories such as that one. Princess Diana is a subject I do not, and never did, have much interest in, so 'around every table' is off by at least one. But, if there is a widely accepted story about her that the podcast, "Your Wrong About", debunks and then has something intelligent to say why the wrong story is still believed, then I will be interested in hearing it.

The Helen Keller most know is a fraud that didn't exist. The real Helen Keller was a radical true blue socialist

In reply to How We Lie to Ourselves About History

they might really have their work cut out for them as time goes by, this thread a colleague just re-tweeted is a good example:

Guys, something insane happened to me today.

I am on a text chain with my teenage nieces and nephews along with my mom (their grandma) and today my mom asked them if they knew who Helen Keller was...

And their response was that Helen Keller was a fraud who didn't exist.

In reply to you're welcome, lulu. but

Agreed, I am not interested enough in the titles available to go there on that basis but if its real subject isn’t so much about facts [about Princess Diana for instance] as the critique says but rather the process by which we absorb them and it adds to or corrects what I think about that subject it will be a good find.

you're welcome, lulu. but

In reply to Thanks for this news item. I

you're welcome, lulu. but just a warning that they focus on popular American cultural stories, the kind of thing that ended up being discussed at everyone's dinner table or the water cooler. you probably aren't gonna find them doing a lot on hard core international relations.
