JCO: World Events

The sole purpose of this forum is to discuss the works of Joyce Carol Oates. That JCO stories are compared with current world events is entirely appropriate; however, given that the members of this forum are from all over the U.S., and around the world, and given that tragedies large and small occur every day all around the world, it would be good for posters to be sensitive to the fact that some members of this forum may have a personal connection to some current events discussed.

This list has been very quiet for a long time. Please remember when you speak that you are speaking to a hundred people whose experiences and culture are likely very different than your own. If you feel you must speak off the topic of this forum, please address your remarks to appropriate individuals, not to the entire group.

Everyone from time to time speaks without thinking, or out of ignorance, or out of emotion. Let's please forgive and forget, and let's talk about JCO.

Thanks!
Randy
