Which is to say, she still eats babies.

And W. Meyers, I’m admittedly not entirely sure myself where my ethics fall on representing O.J. versus buying his book. My reasoning not for buying it is simple enough: I don’t want to read it. I think I’d be willing to represent it because I do see value in the exploration of crime in literature. I don’t think the book should (or is even really intended to) be read as fact. That said, there is this collective hunch we have that he did it. So whether he tells any truth or not is to me less relevant than the ways in which he justifies himself. I’m convinced there’s something to learn there, beneath any lies and rhetoric.

You have made me very curious. I’m interested in how you came to the position that you would represent OJ, yet not buy his book. I’m not sure I would do it differently, but I’m interested in how you came to that decision.

Much of my writing dwells in that space where individuals make choices regarding personal ethics and threat. Your thoughts on OJ facinate me.

Actually OJ fans (or OJ murder fiasco fans) facinate me beyound words. I’ve had one personal experience with an eager OJ reader at a local book store. A woman in her fiftys walked up to the front desk and inquired if her copy of OJ’s book had arrived. It was the first day the book was available. The book unfortunately had not arrived on schedule. The woman was clearly frustrated and went on to say she had pre-ordered it so she could get one of the first copies. For numerous reasons I will not go into she didn’t seem to be someone who usually spent much time with books. In fact, her car was parked in the fire lane outside. What in the world could get someone so hopped-up about something so personally remote???

Does no one in this (so-called intelligent) culture understand hyperbole when we hear it? Have we so totally lost touch with any sense of irony, any intelligent use of exaggeration, or–and this is certainly true–any ability to laugh at ourselves that we can’t know satire when we see it?

And, yes, I know that a great deal of the material Ann writes, she means. And a great deal of what she writes, ladies and gentlemen, is true. But she cloaks pretty much all of it in a lot of exaggeration, a lot of over-the-top lanaguage, and if we can’t distinguish clear and pointed use of exaggeration, hyperbole, and outrageous language to convey a truth, then it’s clearly been a long, long time since high school English class.

Or have we all forgotten A MODEST PROPOSAL already?

Sheesh. Heads out of sand, folks. Calling a spade a spade isn’t hateful…it’s truthful.

*spit take* 😀

I wholeheartedly agree with your inclusion of the collected works of Ann Coulter. She has repeatedly shown that she cannot make a point without insulting and degrading those she disagrees with.

She also does it in a manner that is reprehensible and entirely without merit in a civil society.

That anyone would want to be seen having her books on their shelves is beyond my comprehension. It would confer to me that they support and possibly wish to emulate her style of gutter-snipe politics.

Then again, I simply have never bought and refuse to consider buying any book with the words “Complete Idiot” or “Dummies” in the title. Those series sell boodles of copies, but I prefer for people to think of me as intelligent and I am not about to self-proclaim that I am an idiot or a dummy.

My refusal to purchase those titles hasn’t seemed to hurt their overall bottom line.

It was a good topic. Thanks for sharing.
