Derrick Jensen takes no prisoners in The Culture of Make Believe , his brilliant and eagerly awaited follow-up to his powerful and lyrical A Language Older Than Words . What begins as an exploration of the lines of thought and experience that run between the massive lynchings in early twentieth-century America to today’s death squads in South America soon explodes into an examination of the very heart of our civilization. The Culture of Make Believe is a book that is as impeccably researched as it is moving, with conclusions as far-reaching as they are shocking. — Book promo @ goodreads.com
Last Wednesday night I had what I’m reasonably sure was an attack of diverticulitis. This the second time that I have woke up to such an attack, the previous one was a few months ago. From what I have read it is inflammation related which I think is also related to my psoriasis inflammation. Just something else to add to the psoriatic arthritis that continues to get worse. Getting old is not for wimps.
