There is an old book by a guy called Charles Mackay called Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. It is a bit of a tough read as it goes into a lot of detail on each of the subjects that are covered. I'm starting to think that an updated version or maybe a volume II is overdue.
"woman"
ReplyDeleteSurely it should have been the word "woman" in inverted commas?
ReplyDeleteIf it is a 'woman' then those appendages should be cut off and there wouldn't be any problems.

An elegant solution!

Along with a rewrite of '1984'..?
