In addition to law and language generally, this blog explores philosophy, translation, poetry (including my own poetry and translations), legal education reform, genealogy, rhetoric, politics, and other things that interest me from time to time. I consider all my poems and translations flawed works in progress, tweak them unpredictably, and consider the latest-posted versions the latest "final" forms. I'd enjoy others' thoughts on anything posted. © Harold Anthony Lloyd 2019

Tump World and "Promiscuous Devotion to the Untrue"
An interesting read. I plan to write an article on two forms of postmodernism covering as well the genealogies of both forms from pre-modernism and then modernism. I believe the sustainable form of postmodernism which pushes back with experience and social pressure will ultimately overpower the other insidious "anything goes" form of postmodern practiced by Trump, Carl Rove, and others.
