A Letter From My State Senator
"Libraries are essential" is a nice talking point, but what am I going to do when they take away inter-library loan on May 1st? The Warren County Librarian said she didn't even know if they were going to take away the internet that soon, or not.

Relationship between metaphysics and language arts
The discovery of the planet Pluto in 1930 illustrates the relationship between metaphysics and the language arts. The planet Pluto had been a real entity, traveling in its orbit about our sun, for centuries; its discovery in 1930 did not create it. By being discovered, however it became in 1930 for the first time a logical entity. When it was named Pluto, it became a grammatical entity. When by it's name knowledge of it was communicated to others through the spoken word and also through the written word, the planet Pluto became a rhetorical entity.1
And when, in 2006, it was reclassifed as a Dwarf Planet, Pluto became a punchline entity.
