    Most outragers will probably miss that last part of the explanation: it's not like anyone's banning the definite article - it's simply advisable to "use these descriptions only when clearly relevant."  less

I think the producers, especially, are much more concerned with delivering an idea of a certain period than anything historically accurate. Movies set in Victorian England are particularly irksome, because you're supposed to accept that everyone constantly tried to sound like they're reciting a novel. I'll watch period movies with my old man, who dabbles in carpentry, and wait for him to yell "COME ON, THEY JUST GOT THAT AT IKEA!!" This all has larger implications too. When libraries and the internet and TV can offer us a wealth of first-hand accounts of history, aren't we still too easily influenced by fiction with a mostly commercial purpose?  less

    'Tab for a Cause' (not that I believe too strongly in their comm...  more'Tab for a Cause' (not that I believe too strongly in their commitment, yet trust it does no harm) is a simple project that allows one to donate 'hearts' to several charities. I was looking at the eight options given, each concerning one of these issues: famine, health, education, human rights, access to clean water, and conservation of nature. Speaking for myself, I view these matters as intimately connected, without exception existing--persisting--due to lack of respect and of equality (both of which I would again argue to come down to the same: lack of culture).I am convinced that such an outlook is more helpful: by delineating the issue it does so for the solution as well, it restricts to a bare minimum the chaos of trying to control many factors, and hopefully resists tracking symptom rather than cause. But it is about this that I wish to ask: why might one not agree?  less
