“What’s false conciousness?” asked Ron curiously. I knew he would be more open to communist ideas because he was part of the proletariat, whereas Hermione was part of the bourgeois intelligentsia.
“False conciousness is when people think communism is bad, ” I explained. “Since communism is good, it means they’re obviously insane.”
“Harry, are you a communist?” asked Hermione in a quiet voice. I could tell she was scared, probably of losing her private property.
This shot was a winner of a weekly National Geographic photo contest. Taken by Wayne Wetherbee.
While on safari in Africa, on the Okavango Delta, Botswana photographing wildlife, this leopard had made a kill and brought it to her cub high in a tree. While her cub was safe feeding, she made her way back down the tree through some heavy grass toward me with her head down. For a brief moment she lifted her head and I was able to get the shot. Her damaged eye did not effect her ability to hunt. After reviewing the shot it was almost as if this magnificent cat had an eye on the Universe.
