WOW!
I *love* the FRee Republic because I learn something new every time I sign on. It is literally true: there would have to be an entire University’s worth of knowledge here, and access to some of the finest minds in America and worldwide, all waiting to be tapped, all readily available in an easy-to-digest format. An incredible resource.
I never new that about the Wedding Tackle preferences of Antient Greece and Rome, and now I am jolly well going to read up to confirm that, and the cross-dressing Emperor, and Tax-Chick’s question about whether Antient Greeks had chiseled abs. I would never have thought to do this otherwise, except that I’d read it on the FRee Republic.
Long Live the FRee Republic! And God Bless Jim Robinson!
I’ve been FReeping all these years for many of the same reasons. No matter what the subject is, the community of FReepers knows everything about it, and will share at length. Just the book recommendations would be worth all the donations I’ve made over the years.
