Robert Paul: JSTOR
You lucky b%^%^%$#rd!!!
Why is JSTOR not free?
Do you realize how many Google scholar quests my lack of a JSTOR
subscription has foiled? Gazillions! ("Gazillions" is a marginalized
person's approximation of 5,427.)
I blame you personally, Robert Paul. Pretending to be all reasonable and
kind and welcoming and populist and loving basketball -- all the while
possessing that most elite of resources, a JSTOR free pass. Figures.
Free the bleeding masses, you say, and lounge around Reed, then
surreptitiously slouch home to your posh 9x10 to the 670000th power RAM
computer where you log on to a JSTOR account that reveals the latest
scholarship.
We're out here bleeding in the muddy street, and you get to peruse Homi
Bhaba's latest incomprehensible paragraph. We're stuck reading
aftershave labels in the water closet, while you choose between vast
tomes of erudition, inhabiting a world of pure beatification
incomprehensible to us untermenschen.
Figures, doesn't it? Grrr......
In jeu d'esprit,
Jester
