The Boomer Bible is Live



You all must know that Robert is the author of The Boomer Bible.  But you might not have seen the The Boomer Bible on the internet.  Using the link below, you can access any of the chapters of The Boomer Bible and most importantly you can use a live intercolumn reference. What does this mean? Many parts of the text have references to other chapters in the book. Now you don't have to turn those pages; the links are all electronic. This is the vision that was in Robert's head when he created this book, and he was years ahead of his time. Technology has finally caught up to his vision.

Who is RFL?

What's it like to live with a writer? It's inspiring, it's maddening, it's crazy, it's delicious. But RFL is so much more than all of that.

He's the most widely read, creative person I have ever met. Just last night our conversation ranged from disecting current movie and TV fare, to quantum physics and the people and theories behind it (of which I knew little), to what really happened at the advent of the year 2000 (which alternate universe do you live in?). Here he is in his own words.

Gloves Off

From Gloves Off:

The Dinosaur Perspective

This latest entry requires a bit of setup because it began as a dialogue across the divide between conservatives and liberals. I discovered, on a "right-wing" website, a link to Pussification, a deliberately outrageous satirical essay by one Kim du Toit (kimdutoit.com), who delights in playing the unreconstructed male chauvinist gun nut. I found the piece funny, sharp and, in the way of good satire, incisively true in many essentials. Du Toit had also created a link to an extended dissenting opinion at a website called Philosoraptor (philosoraptor.blogspot.com). I read this essay as well and had a mixed reaction to it. The prose resonated with the usual liberal tone of superiority, and much of the argument marched down the predictable dogmatic path of secular egalitarian orthodoxy. Nevertheless, I sensed here and there an intent, an aspiration even, to be fair and even-handed: Philosoraptor went so far as to allow that du Toit's argument included elements that in less 'neanderthal' hands might be worthy of further thought. I also suspected that the attempt at even-handedness was being undermined by youth, naivete, or both.
