I hear this guy's lectures are pretty good.
Not that any of you can make it but I thought I'd point it out.

The Idea of an "Anti-Imperialist League" Sounds Quaint
to modern ears. The greater pity is that there is no equivalent figure to Twain to be it's leading voice.
Me? A Quick Study, But A Slow Learner
Lectures are for commies!
Here in the United States™ we only do Board Meetings...

Not that the subject isn't depressing enough
but who was possessed to call this series the "Last Lecture"? Downright morbid I'd call this. Perhaps the sequel can be "Read Your Own Obituary Early"!
Actually I'd love to go if my institution provided travel funds. That's my grandma's alma mater dammit and the subject is certainly interesting enough. Haven't been back to the Nodaway County area since one of my great-aunts died, Fern I think it was, or possibly Della who was known as "Warty." (That's not quite as rude as it sounds; the family ran to tall and she was the shortest one.)
That has to have been.... (counts digits, runs out) quite a few years ago. I doubt that much has changed.
:)
Xan, we've got a bigger Wal-Mart...
and there's a four-lane highway here now.
Okay, not much has changed. You're right.
