Last preseason/ first 3 weeks of the regular season he was all over the field. I like that the guy calling plays in the defensive huddle has obviously got some intelligence.

You have a very liberal definition of "intelligence".

I though it was pretty interesting except for all the agricultural/horizontal & vertical axis stuff.

"Liberal" means more than "left-wing", and I didn't apply it to the book to begin with. You have serious mental deficiences.

I don't have a problem with the book, I have a problem with third-rate mass marketed history being called "intelligent". It only is in comparison to your normal fare of coloring books and primary readers.

It only is in comparison to your normal fare of coloring books and primary readers. My read on it was that some guy had a theory ("Guns Germs and Steel lead societies to dominance and others to failure.") Then he looked up historical evidence to support his theory, leaving out a whole mess of other reasons for why societies may have been dominant. I saw it as academic pablum (redundant I know).

And like I keep saying: it's third-rate mass marketed history. There's no glaring mistakes...but there's ain't a whole lot of depth to it either. Reading it doesn't make you an intellectual...it makes you more of a lemming, actually.

Reading it doesn't make you an intellectual...it makes you more of a lemming, actually. Ok, now that's the third time you've used that buzz phrase "third-rate mass marketed history". Can you explain to me (without using google or amazon.com customer reviews) what about the book makes it "third-rate mass marketed history"? "but there's ain't"???????????????

Can you explain to me (without using google or amazon.com customer reviews) what about the book makes it "third-rate mass marketed history"? "Prove it's third-rate mass marketed history...but don't quote Amazon or Google." You don't even see the irony, do you? Quote "but there's ain't"??????????????? Yes. It's a colloquialism. That means "form of speech or phrase not used in formal conversation."

You probably don't even have an opinion on it. You're just busting my balls.

Meanwhile you can't even articulate what you mean by your ingenius catch phrase "third rate mass marketed history".
