Be aware that I am an accused sexual harasser, dating from 1993. The
charges have been dropped, but no apology or admission of error has been forthcoming from
the College District's Administration. For the story, check below. Also, please read the
warnings indicated below.
It is all still about Literacy. "There are two ways of making a revolution. Put a gun in a man's hand and make him shoot, or put an idea in a man's head and make him think. We prefer the latter." --- The Masses, 1911. So do I, but for a different reason. The gun and the attendant mass violence, while glorified by national and international myth-making, at best, has promoted national liberation. But that is not a revolution. All of history's true revolutions have taken place in the heads and hearts of people. After all, it is only the progressive moral development of humankind that is truly revolutionary. And as there is no moral development without literacy, literacy is moral development. Thus, it is all about literacy. |
