If I am ever part of a Marx discussion group again, these will be the rules. The Kapital discussion group I was a part of last year disbanded after just a few meetings, the last of which was described by one of the members as ‘a  brainstorm of depression’ (which sounds like a success to me).

This has the makings of a great “Downfall” parody.

Historical Slut: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE!

fuckyeahcharlesthesecond:

Yep, that’s right- on this day in 1630 (29th May) the world became a whole lot more fabulous as Charles Stuart, later to become King Charles II of England, was born.

Kids play T-ball, then baseball; they play games and have practice every week and, if they’re serious about it, pre-season and post-season too. We never think, “Let’s have kids play baseball for eight weeks in seventh grade,” and then expect that in five years they can join the majors or even be on a college team. But for some reason we do this with civics. We say, “We’re going to have you do a penny harvest in fifth grade and a service learning project in tenth grade, and then we’ll teach you abstractly about government for a semester in twelfth grade.” Then our students enter the major leagues of citizenship, and we give them the vote and expect them to keep our country going. And that’s just crazy!
