Just goes to show the total ambiguity of that vocal minority. They'll encourage someone to break the law to support their point of view, but damn someone to hell for disagreeing with them. It's a...

Penta, IMO, makes some very valid observations. Many of the kids I see here are in school because they are more or less forced to go by their parents. Some don't have the faintest idea why they're in...

I'll have to join the chorus here. Many (but not all) of the students I come into contact with (either as an instructor or informal adviser) are looking for some sort of intellectual challenge. Some...

Steve,

I know that doctrine isn't cited. Doesn't bother me a bit either way. Like I said, I'd be interested in the citations for my own personal curiosity. I've felt that way about similar...

Because people like Price wouldn't listen...and don't listen. They have their own agenda.

"Fair Use" is in fact a damned fluid concept at times...I've seen it quoted for photocopying purposes as...

They aren't peer-reviewed....they're (gasp) plagiarized!:eek:

I was the one who brought up the citations in USMC manuals, Marc, but that was in direct reference to the Warfighting series (the MCDP 1- series), which are something of a unique case (they're...

No chance of pissing me off, Sam. I think you're right with that one. But I also think that the semi-science communities want to have it both ways (use sloppy/no citing when they feel like it and...

Agreed. I'm not a big endnote fan, but I prefer either to the parenthetical crap that gets foisted on the reading public at times.

At the VERY LEAST they could have put in a "citations available...

As I suggest in my blog response, what they could have done (or could do now) is release the notes as a downloadable supplement. Of course, which citation format would be used? I know that the social...

Not necessarily. Price's invective is sadly fairly common in academic circles, where the only battles they often fight are in the book review sections of the various scholarly journals. In any case,...

I agree about the Chicago edition...and did find the lack of notes odd (especially when compared to the Marine Corps' Warfighting books that contain good notes). They certainly could have done a...

Sad to say I didn't see much of an expose here...more just a collection of innuendo and invictive. Ah, well.....all in a day's unbiased research, I guess....:wry:

I tend to prefer the Sanctuary remake of the same song, but that is a good choice. "Paint it Black" might also be worth consideration.

And in an interesting aside, we have this BBC story about a later period "witchcraft" trial that may be coming back to haunt some people.
