So, SO sad news

Vive le Québec Libre Monsieur Deschênes? (C'est bien Deschênes?)

The novel is not promoting any political party or even ideology. It is like a less (much much MUCH less ) zen "On that day" : just a matter of reporting what is happening.

In the same manner, the novel is not more offensive to women then to men.

As far as can I see, Carrier had the most accurate comment, saying it is a book that can not be read with equal, let say... results, by a majority of people. It takes a level of maturity that is not easy to achieve, not only intellectual knowledge and/or intellectual intelligence and education, it is more easy and - oh yes! - less confronting to read other good books. I'll quote somebody else "we deserve all our encounters". I dream that one day this "Loony Bin which serves us of country" to quote another one, could made BL the winner of this game. Dreams-dreams-dreams. I have a lot of them.

Besides, Tom S your articles show that if people are hering a very conservative person talking about a book in the manner it was done, that is a loud a clrea message to non-conservative persons that they probably will like it.

September_Cohen's info about Mrs. Chow's husband discovered one more layer to the matter... Tchocolatl, you say it in right words again, you are the rule

Excellent parallels, BL adn On Thad Day and the Looney Bin

I agree with every word of your previous post, and yes, that's correct:

if people are hering a very conservative person talking about a book in the manner it was done, that is a loud a clrea message to non-conservative persons that they probably will like it

Such things usually make me immediately to looks uch books / movies whatever.

Thanks, Lizzytysh.

But when you'll come back, its may be gone.

Tom, I wish I had used the right words (with all the letters at the good place, and everything, if you know what I mean).

Ah! It happens once in a while. But not in the same paragraph.

You must be really sensible to not associate what is driven by the novel and what is not the toughts of the author. Do you think a NPD deputee will take the chance to promote a novel which can be misunderstood by 70% of the Country people? Not sure of...
And I think that the opinion of Carrier is not an heavyweight one :"promote a lesser-known author"....Cohen is not a well-known author in Canada....he's a well-known singer!!!
He's recognized BY the music....and after, except the canadian letters elite, came the glory of his words.

The novel also can create dissension with Canadian Catholic Church...the amerindians which is not a simple question...the two solitude of the bilinguism....even if he only report, it is easy to misunderstood the whole great thing.

Tongue in check, tongue in check, Tom. And you know what they are saying.. a looney who knows he's a looney is less looney than a looney who does not know he is a looney. I've just heard two others : "Some countries are suffering from too much history, this country is suffering from too much geography." (Pfftt TchEeeee - canny laughters) "They found an haggard woman wandering in Washington without any idenfication papers on her. They come to find that she was Canadian because she was excusing herself when somebedy was stepping on her feet." This last one is an american joke, however, they are mad at us now, because of the "non-following-into-the-war-thing" after the visit of Mr. Bush (jr). He did now seduce the women here, according to the surveys, they are the cause for this. Now they are mad at us. They did not want to eat our beef anymore. First it was the Frenchies, (and the patriotic fries, that are now return to "normal" French fries) now it is us (patriotic steaks? - new kind of diet : you can not eat fries. Than you can eat fries, but not with steak). Candalisa Rice, which was sent in France to sing them in English J'ai deux amours, mon pays et Paris (Ey! Did they think the Frenchies will think she was their once beloved Joséphine Baker?) to reestablish good relations, said lately that the beaver (wich is, in case you do not know, one of - may we say - a totem animal of Canada) is a (follow the latin/scientific name of the little beast) which is of the family of a rat (with a stress on the rat, of course). I suppose this is supposed to be funny. Unfortunately they are taking themselves very seriously, her and her boss. And you know what they say : A looney...

well

Sept_Cohen : tic-tac, tic-tac, tic-tac..... what can I add to what I have alreadly said about these subjects being explosive and blablabla? I do not find anything (I have a headache right now, that is why, maybe). Very pretty your lapsus : two solidude. Without the "s".

Speak about a lapsus of a guy who is not a anglish-speaker is a kind of cheapshot.
I'm trying to do my best to communicate with you.
And I don't know why you use this as a joke thing when you can't yourself write the word solitude.
Look at your post, which is an ironic thing: you write "SoliDude"

P.S. Never could stand that cat

Tchocolatl · Post by **Tchocolatl** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 5:42 pm

Mais je ne me moque pas de toi du tout. Je pourrais t'écrire tout en français, mais ce n'est pas poli sur un forum anglophone. Je sais très bien que mes propres messages sont pleins de coquilles et de lapsus. Bof.

Je retourne m'expliquer en anglais question de courtoisie puisque c'est un forum public, et unilingue. C'est pas comme chez nous

(en principe).

1) I have considered that not to add a "s" in French or in English is the same : a lapsus not an ignorance of the language. 2) As my own posts all over the board are full of these kinds of "dude" things this is not a tiny "s" that would have made me faint. 3) I'm not doing cp-st attacks of any sort. It is against my "religion". Only, a debate, and/or exchanging point of views is made of different shapes and colours. Normal.

The cat? I do believe without difficulty that it is not your cup of tea. I think is is cute, (I like cats) but mostly, I put it there for Elizabeth and Linda that could not stand the cow with the pink heart-shaped sunglasses, that was chewing a tie. Avatars came, avatars go...

Well, I have to admit, I wasn't crazy about the cow with the heart-shaped glasses, but so what? One day (probably soon) I will ask you to please let your cats out. Like you said, avatars come, avatars go. Much like signatures.

Linda.

Don't worry for these cats, Linda, they are not real, however, people who signed are real. Stick to the reality. Take care of the important matters. Like if people were cats, if you prefer.

linda_lakeside · Post by **linda_lakeside** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 1:45 am

The cats aren't real??? Whew! What a relief!

Linda.

linda_lakeside · Post by **linda_lakeside** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 1:47 am

I'm giving it my considered attention, Tchoco, but that top cat resembles me in such a spooky way...You're sure they're not real??

Tchocolatl · Post by **Tchocolatl** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 2:26 am

Have another try to find out with this one, Linda :

Hey, I think we are all Solidudes here on this forum.

What a great word!
