While I have read a lot of Morris's writings especially his social commentary and speeches, I feel in reading his prose that he may idealize the middle ages too much. I'm sure that a very small minority enjoyed the ideal that he espouses, as enjoyable as the fantasy is, someone must do the dirty work. Perhaps the realities of this world is what kept the utopian communities from surviving. We can't all be painters, someone has to till the field. Keep up the good work.Brad Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480072672489492698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344548830618247839.post-86796998113804972662008-02-04T21:31:00.000-07:002008-02-04T21:31:00.000-07:00Hello Margaret, thanks for stopping by my site--lo...Hello Margaret, thanks for stopping by my site--loved your comment about Carla Bruni and the "Russian mafia super-creep"--hopefully this marriage lasts--they do make quite a formidable couple.TIGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16176495665521076485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344548830618247839.post-49608833292415066232008-02-04T16:37:00.000-07:002008-02-04T16:37:00.000-07:00Funny- Our brother is currently working on his doc...Funny- Our brother is currently working on his doctorate in Church history at St. Andrews!
