what it was like & what is a narrative: OP-ED December 6, 2008 « Bill Ayers

http://billayers.wordpress.com/2008/12/06/op-ed-december-6-2008/

1. what it was like in the 60's.  I spent some time wandering around in the Hyde Park area (and Roger's Park).  I wouldn't be surprised if my path crossed with Bill Ayers at one time or another.  Hey Hey LBJ!

2. Narrative:  that's what happens nowadays... create a story true or untrue doesn't matter.... spread it around enough and people believe it. "Tell a big enough lie often enough and people will believe it" (paraphrasing A. Hitler, there, I believe).  Also "Last Liar Laughs Longest" (a folk saying):  people have short attention span so the big liars always want to get the last word (a.k.a. "lie") in.   But it didn't work on Obama.  It will be so cool if Caroline Kennedy gets the New York senate seat.
   Narrative: string a bunch of stuff together & make a story out of it.  Or... stringing it together MAKES a story out of it. etc.
