Haven't any of you read Shakespeare?

I have to laugh at the criticisms expressed against John McCain for saying "You do not have to be afraid of a President Obama". Can't you understand the suggestion? Have none of you read Othello? "Beware, my lord, of jealousy -" which nobody had thus far so much as mentioned. Or Julius Caesar? "For so are they all - all honourable men." John McCain is smarter than you think; and he is fighting meaner than you can imagine.

I only read two in school - Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. I've since read a few more on my own, but it took me a while to get to do so. At one point I bought a "complete works" volume, intending to read it, but that never happened - too large to carry around for casual reading, too tiny print. I donated it. Sometime later I found some good annotated paperbacks and I started buying them.

I've also attended some performances and rented some film versions of his plays, which helps as well.
