- Skunkleton 1y agoI get your point, but good luck with that. Most (every?) influential figure had has something problematic about their person. If you can't see the good through the bad, then you will quickly find yourself with nothing.
- SoftTalker 1y agoShocking that a wife might willingly want to help her husband with something important to him.
- Jordan_Pelt 1y agoI'm sure she does, but that's beside the point. Why should we pay any attention to the opinions of a person on replacing something he doesn't use with something else he won't use. He may as well say that he won't buy a snowblower because his groundskeeper uses a shovel and does just fine.
- magneticnorth 1y agoI think you'll appreciate the first response in the "Letters" section - the one that starts off with "Wendell Berry provides writers enslaved by the computer with a handy alternative: Wife - a low-tech energy-saving device." It got a chuckle out of me, for sure.
