Fellow Capricologists: What did you make of the centrality of the news to “Reins of the Waterfall,” this week’s episode?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…od in our prayers and our worship songs. So, we don’t have to be fundamentalist, because the structure is fundamentalist on our behalf. For instance, a parent obviously doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, but they don’t experience the trauma of not believing until the child stops believing. So, they get the pleasure of believing in Santa Claus without having to be stupid enough to believe in Santa Claus. Parts of the liberal church get to have their i…

Conclusion I think that the Fes Festival brings together an amazing group of musicians, and the space to demonstrate experimental pieces is fantastic.

By Ira Chernus

We don’t discover them inscribed in the cosmos. So everything must be open to question, to debate, to change. there can be no fixed truth except that everyone has the right to offer a new view.
