Re: A Sensibility of Worth

Jim, you write:

"We can learn about the human condition from advertisements on television and
in magazines.   But we'd rather study Shakespeare or Beowulf (I really liked
Lucy Ruth's post about this too) instead, because their use of language is
worth more attention than the language in television ads."

And as soon as you invoke the phrase "worth more attention," you fall back
into all the same problems you cite concerning Robbie's old stuff about worth
and "the human condition." The vagaries and slogans and difficulties reappear.

And the same thing starts all over again.

I think OutKast said it best,

"When I move, you move
Just like that
Hell, yeah,
DJ bring that back."

In any case, I'd just as soon study both. And have.

All the best,

--John
