Will Fly	Why does modern music sound so different (413* d)	RE: Why does modern music sound so different	20 Apr 15
if the majority population of these islands are considered unable to produce anything culturally - and if examples exis of how "good" and important their culture can be, this is, as far as I am concerned, grounds enough for positive discrimination when making this material accessible. Mmm... slippery ground there, I think. A bit like Michael Gove decreeing that no American literature be taught in schools' English curriculum. So - no Salinger, Faulkner, Mailer, Bellow, Hawthorne, Whitman, Wolfe, Miller... Let's go the whole hog. While we're at it, lets forbid all study of Russian literature in modern schools curriculum. So - no Dostoevsky, Gogol, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Solzhenitsyn... And as for those blasted French and Germans - well! I exaggerate, of course. But who is it, by the way, who considers that these islands are unable to produce anything culturally?
