    Have you seen the show the BBC did a few years ago? It’s well done, but after reading the book everything happens so fast that it seems really hurried. Books are always better.
    I listened to a wonderful unabridged version of the book on my commute over the space of a few months. It is a great work, although personally I'd ignore the entire Epilogue and by the sixth time he starts on his hobby horse about the insignificance of great men and the primacy of unconscious social forces you want to go back in time and tell him to let Turgenev edit him.

    I had this up on my wall at work for about a year:

        If it isn't the "right thing" (<-- whatever that means) you'll be ripped by someone, somewhere, somehow mercilessly. Heck, campuses, bastions of free speech, now have places that are "free speech zones" to ensure that you won't hear something that you might not agree with.

        Worse?

        It'll far too often go from philosophic (discussing the issue) to ad hominem.


        So yeah, we're being well-trained to shut up and get in line (or else get shouted down and face personal derision).
        It's awesome that you feel saying generally mean things about a group isn't hurtful like saying specific mean things about a person. If you get ripped for doing what you believe is truly the right thing I would hope that you could ignore that and feel proud of yourself for doing the right thing. The fact that you can't probably means that deep down you know it isn't the right thing

              In this instance I think he was referring to the fact that though the French "won" the battle their losses were so enormous and their momentum so spent (and Napolean's image so tarnished) that it ended any chance to force Alexander to the peace table and isolate the English.

              Had the French withdrawn without battle the Russians were in a very difficult position. They couldn't pursue and attack, that would have been madness.

                Who said about a person or group? I said issues.

                Just say "guns" or "abortion" or "global warming" or "taxes".

                  Because they ‘won’ they wound up going deeper into Russia and had their supply lines cut. Once winter came their troops were decimated. I have nothing against the French and it wasn’t intended in being a dig at them.

                            This one doesn't even need a caption. Well, maybe the centrist needs one, but otherwise.

                              And the war on coal isn't even close to being over, it never will be.

                              As for my personal opinion, if we can get the Segueway tech converted to cars at a reasonable cost (unlike the current electric vehicles, that cost reduction is a ways off) I'm all for that.
