I'm not taking it as an attack at all. The people who hated controlled burns for racist reasons (such as calling people "primitives") were being incredibly stupid. I am not denying that at all, that should be obvious. The poi

Thank you, corrected. It's not that I don't think that discussion has a place. It's that I don't think saying "natives did it" is a justification for bringing it back. There are plenty of great justifications f

I'm shocked this isn't being done already. But what on earth is the reasoning in this article? There are plenty of great reasons to do controlled burns, but for some reason the article says controlled burns are good because: >

It is quite astounding how blatantly you missed the point of the entire article. Let me post a snippet in case you skipped over it by accident: > So books, from Blood Meridian to Hop on Pop, are in part a dialogue between writer and read

There's this parody store called OmegaMart. It's an immersive art experience in Vegas, but a big part of it is that you can buy their parody items at the store. I wonder if this ruling is going to have a big effect on their abilit
