This blog title comes from one of my favorite authors, Daniel Quinn. Way back in tenth grade my AP World teacher had us read a book called “Ishmael.” This book really changed the way I thought about a lot of things, but mainly the affect humans have on the environment; even if you don’t care about the environment you can’t deny that sometime in the future (whether it be 50, 100, or 1000 years from now) our civilization will crash, because we are “pedaling too hard” with out a means of stopping.
Anyway, after reading “Ishmael”, I became interested in the writings of Daniel Quinn and did some research on his books. One of them being “If They Give You Lined Paper Write Sideways,” and that’s what I hope to accomplish through this blog: giving my opinion and hoping someone agrees with me. ;)
It will also be an attempt to improve my level of thinking and writing.
