Review: Marshall McLuhan, by Douglas Coupland - The Globe and Mail

I have always been a fan of Marshall McLuhan, even if it has taken me YEARS to understand what he wrote. Writers such as he, along with Alvin Toffler and others, have demonstrated that they were prescient in telling us how our society has been profoundly changed by these new technologies of communication. Coupland himself is no slouch in these affairs as was demonstrated by his seminal work, "Generation X". I look forward to reading this latest biography of one of Canada's greatest thinkers.

    The video footage of the interview with McLuhan was priceless!

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
