Combined ping to 2 ping lists
Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately on my page. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card. |

I’m glad at least one science fiction writer hasn’t been swept away by Star Trek Next Generation PC nonsense.

It's from a few weeks back, but this made me think of this thread:

I love OSC!
...but he must use his editor a lot, to create such mundane things such as paragraphs.

Mr. Card is in my doghouse. He never revealed what the three words were and it’s still driving me crazy.

No, he doesn't have to use his editor to do this (I know you're speaking tongue-in-cheek). He can do it himself. He told me that if I wanted to improve my writing quickly I just needed to edit a lot of bad writing.

Over the past few weeks since this phony story started, I’ve seen a good number of very good articles, but this one is just brilliant. Card took it and ran with it, making sweeping observations and connecting the dots. Once again he confirmed why I admire him.

Same here, I had a hard time watching TNG (in the different incarnations) these days since just about all of it so PC.
I am in the Babylon 5/Crusade camp for TV sci-fi. I don’t know JMS’s politics or anything but B5 didn’t have a lot of touchy-feely stuff in it. Got to love a series that uses nuclear weapons from time to time.
Lookup http://starwreck.com/ for a good, subtitled (Finnish, I think) parody of both Star Trek and B5. There is an embedded trailer on the page. About 2:15 in is something really funny, at least to me. The whole movie is worth watching. It was played a lot at the last Dragoncon.

Why the h-e-double-hockey-sticks isn’t Orson Scott Card the White House Director of Communications?
