Agnes by Tony Cochran for March 05, 2019

A metacritic, if you will.

She could face a backlash from people who know how to critique.

Hmmm… Agnes is very articulate.

Maybe she could make something out of this, if she just looks around and starts with something she knows.

I used to read a blog written by a girl around her age, in 2012… actually she was only nine.

It was a critique of her school lunches, but it was fascinating, and she wrote well for a kid.

She very soon became world famous and raised a couple hundred thousand dollars for a charity feeding children in Malawi… and that led to an award in Great Britain.

The blog ended at some point, and I can’t find any recent articles or updates… but she was very shy, so maybe she’s just avoiding more attention for the moment.

Her name is Martha Payne and her blog, which I see now hasn’t been updated since 2014, is

Inspiration for you, Agnes!

You won’t be the first, Agnes.

A critic critic! That will result in instant fame and fortune from the northeast Brown County, Ohio trailer park.

I like that idea!

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I hope she doesn’t criticize herself too harshly.

This is necessary!!!

Alexander Pope “Essay on Criticism,” 1711.

Not the first. It’s called “higher criticism.”

That is new since there some who criticize others but that isn’t their main focus.

“Babylon 5” showed proper space battles as if they were in outer space not in the air.
