Angry Asian Man about Dr. Seuss making WWII propaganda. Interesting; was Dr. Seuss racist? One link warns “some of the images reflect the stereotypes of the times.”
I often wonder which common phrases and practices will be taboo in times to come.

I know somebody who knows somebody who hung out with Theodor Seuss Geisel a lot. Plus, when I went to the San Diego Zoo in 1996, I saw the rocks he sat on and the original Truffula trees from The Lorax. So there.

“Most of us suffer some degree of “hurry sickness.” a malady that has launched us into the “epoch of the nanosecond,” a need-everything-yesterday sphere dominated by cell phones, computers, faxes, and remote controls. Yet for all the hours, minutes, and even seconds being saved, we’re still filling our days to the point that we have no time for such basic human activities as eating, sex, and relating to our families.”
