I'm a Sucker for a Good Meme
From Dolphin, an interesting meme:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people
"Nowhere in public life (that is, in the public life that counts: the discussions of political and corporate leaders) is there an attempt to respond to community needs in the language of community interests.
And although we seem more and more inclined to look on education, even as it teaches less and is more overcome by violence, as the solution to all our problems (thus delaying the solution for a generation), there is really not much use in looking to education for the help we need. For education has become increasingly useless as it has become increasingly public."
That is from "Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community," a book of essays by Wendell Berry. But I'm not going to tag anyone. If you want to play, go ahead.
