Yes, I was just reminded by that story, not surprized.

What is REALLY scary is I know of professionals that do not even read journals and modern techniques even in thier own field! They even chastise you for suggesting old ways are wrong. For instance, there was a science daily article about how they have found that Alzhiemer's can be contagious if you put the brain fluid of an alzhiemer's patient into a healthy patient's brain fluid! Not even nurse practitioners had read into that! I am just a PCT "grunt"!

(That is fixing to change, though. I get OT or OTA, I am going to be a badass.)

It seems so obvious, besides...

Old English professors are just the worst about that.  How anyone had the gall to declare that there was a CORRECT interpretation of any literature, absent, or even contradicting, the testimony of the author, I'll never know.  But to think there is anyone still teaching such utter victorian nonsense is outrageous.  But there are, despite the movement being discredited around the time I was born, there are - and I did poorly in their classes, not least because the fools were wasting my time.


(I suspect the Correct Meaning lit crit movement wasn't victorian, but Freudian-inspired, BTW.  It comes full circle.)

I loved my chosen. How then to face the day when she left me? So I took from her body a single cell, perhaps to love her again.
