I have a Ph.D. in the Humanities from UT-Dallas, a M.A. in English from the Univ. of S. MS, and a B.S. in Recombinant Gene Technology. I am a fiction writer, a poet, and a philosopher -- in any order on any given day.
What I'm Reading
Anything and everything: poems, plays, novels, science, philosophy, economics, etc.

It appears new book on Heidegger is coming, and it argues that you cannot separate Heidegger's philosophy from his Nazi politics.

GallantryIs pissed upon by a limp phallic spring.They bravely condemn racism in the United States in all their college linesInk-jetted in the racist centuryObama was elected, hate declines.But surely, despite this, they have a point?But, no – their mindless Marxism is flat,Pathetic, most embarrassing.
