Fortunately, I get few of either, and when they come, I delete without engaging with them, and they usually go away. I'm not going to put up with them, and I'd use comment moderation, if they came in great numbers. The fuzzy letters are beyond me, and I've about decided not to comment when word verification is in place, so I would not feel right about inflicting them on others.<br />June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-89158593420483964152012-08-24T20:33:53.474-05:002012-08-24T20:33:53.474-05:00Grandmere Marie, I'll try it.

Blogger does a much better job now of screening out spam, so I removed from my blog the word verification function with its fuzzy letters, and I've received many thanks from my commenters.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-22004526751966015122012-08-24T18:57:06.181-05:002012-08-24T18:57:06.181-05:00Thanks for the link to the Coates essay, Robert. ...Thanks for the link to the Coates essay, Robert. It was surely worth a read. I hope Obama has an adequate outlet for the anger that must surely arise, simply because he is a human being. He's navigated the path for a good many years before becoming president, but never on so large a stage.<br /><br />Now I'll go read your link, Anthony.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-37528733497985694552012-08-24T11:28:05.063-05:002012-08-24T11:28:05.063-05:00I wish I'd had Project Gutenburg and other onl...I wish I'd had Project Gutenburg and other online sources when I'd been in college. I'd have wasted a lot less time believing in the secular pieties and lies of the common-recieved wisdom of the putatively educated class of today. Yet those persist, especially among the putatively educated class of today.

Wells, in her study of lynching in the first Jim Crow period (we seem to be entering another one) pointed out that the image of the dangerous, predatory black man was created after the abolition of official slavery as an excuse for the reign of terror that prevented putatively free black people from having freedom. She pointed out that the very white men who asserted that black men were dangerous left the same black men alone with white women on plantations as they went to war to maintain slavery. <br /><br />http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14975<br /><br />That it is as useful to Republicans after the "Southern strategy" proved so successful, against a black president, WITH THE FULL SUPPORT OF ALLEGEDLY LIBERAL, NORTHERN MEDIA, was similar to what Fredrick Douglass said about Francis Willard taking up the segregationist line in The Lesson of the Hour. <br /><br />I'm writing a long series of posts about Darwin's eugenics and I'm finding, as I trace eugenics and the attributions of it to him, not to mention the resurgence of eugenics, today, that we haven't gotten past the 1820s, Malthus and the depravity of the Georgian and Victorian ages. <br /><br />By the way, I think you'll find the one about "quote mining" amusing. <br /><br />http://zthoughtcriminal.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-much-do-you-have-to-quote-before.html<br />The Thought Criminalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381376556757084468noreply@blogger.com
