However, what Karl Marx had in insights into the economy he lacked in political and sociology understanding. Capital, one of Marx's major and most influential. Marx was a brilliant economic thinker and I personally often recall his quote ‘If you need something you can’t produce, you must produce something you won’t need’ as a general truth applicable to many situations and discussions. Capital: A Critique of Political Economy, Volume 1. Capital – A Critique of Political Economy, also knows as ‘Das Kapital’ – the original German title, by Karl Marx, is probably the most well-known philosophical treatise on politics and economy. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I’m always for Carol Burnett getting performances though it is odd to hear her as a mother (I guess it doesn’t matter since it is a cartoon). Jim Carrey tones it down from his irritating Grinch and gives a nice performance as Horton with Steve Carell playing the Mayor of Whoville. They might not be able to physically see each other, but they are both there. Here, the message is more spiritual in that Horton is almost like a god to the Who, and it is up to him to protect them. Germs or dangers to or from the environment can’t often be seen but can affect young and old. There are tons of things that can’t be seen or heard but are either important or dangerous. The idea that something that you can’t see or hear is important…especially in today’s day and age. Like other stories like The Lorax and Yertle the Turtle, Horton Hears a Who! tries to teach children, and the movie does a decent job bringing this message to the big screen.

The Cthulhu Casebooks - Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows by James Lovegrove: 9781785652912 : Books It is the autumn of 1880, and Dr John Watson has just returned from Afghanistan. In a prologue, Watson admits that in his previously recounted stories he has constructed “a shell of artifice around a dark, rotten kernel so as to protect civilisation from certain facts that would throw its cosy self-assurance into drastic and lasting disarray.” He begins with an altered account of his first meeting with Holmes the pair actually met in 1880 in a seedy back alley London pub when Watson’s well-intentioned intervention in a violent confrontation involving an old colleague, Dr. British author Lovegrove ( Sherlock Holmes: The Thinking Engine) attempts a thorough revision of the canon in this trilogy kickoff, but fails to effectively blend the world of the uber-rational Holmes with that of Lovecraft’s cosmic horrors. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please visit the wiki for the complete list. ![]() No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6Ĭome chat with us on IRC /#reddit-Christianity /#reddit-Christianity-meta Religious/Denominational Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. ![]() If you are asking a question, be sure to check our FAQ as it may have already been addressed there.

As boys progress into their teenage years, these moments are sweet, but also emphasize the whirlwind of emotions and hormones about to befall all kids of that age. Not only does it have valuable lessons about lying, stealing, bullying, and grieving, but it includes a few moments of romance as well. Aimed at kids on the cusp of growing into adults, the book masterfully represents moments of peer pressure where the characters have to decide what the correct response should be. Still, racism can be a two-way street, and I couldn’t help but think of the Avenue Q song, “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist.”īeyond the obvious racial undertones to this book, Armstrong and Charlie is a fantastic book about growing up. While I would like to think that race relations have improved since the mid-1970’s, there are plenty of lessons available in this book that are applicable today.
