Most people in America have no idea who Guy Fawkes was.

You need to understand the mentality. If they like something, then everyone in the whole world must like it, too.

Similar feelings when you read books set in 1930s Europe.

“I want to leave, but Grandmere would never survive such a long voyage.”

If they make everything incredibly complicated people will either throw their hands up and become completely dependent on company controlled techs or spend 16 hours a day keeping up with minute tech changes. Either way we’ll lack the ability toe control our lives.

You are lucky they invented the interwebs.

You’d never have the guts to call someone a Nazi to their face.

Well, maybe if you had a mob behind you…

Progressives in 1968 thought that massive protests in the streets would push the Democrats to the Left.

It didn’t work.

I recently learned of a British version of Dirk, circa 2010. I’d seen the Elijah Wood version, and this is a nice addition.

It’s true that Doyle never mentioned it, but it’s logical that Holmes would want a place he could duck into for a quick meal; or a nap; or to put on a new disguise. Watson does say that Holmes had bolt holes around London, so it would have been foolish for him not to have a membership.

I remember reading about his membership in a non canon work.

If you’re a fan look up ‘The 7% Solution.’ It’s available as a novel and a movie; Holmes meets the only doctor capable of curing his cocaine addiction, Sigmund Freud.

He’s not a ‘marketing genius’ he’s an addict.

If you think about something 24/7 of course you’re going to get good at it.

Reminds me of an old joke.

A man is standing on Wall Street. He has a sign that says 'Pencils For Sale." A broker walks up and asks how much for one pencil.

“$50,000.00”

“$50 thousand for one pencil? At that price you’re not going to sell many.”

“At that price I only need to sell one.”
