he is an ass, Reading is akin to conversation with the author. It is a most direct conversation and if the writer is an expert  then that book would have offered a view into his world view.

Only fools abhor books. Had some of the pppites truly took to books we would not have a morally reprehensible cabal in office feasting on our nation's bones. A little bit  of Kant would have done them well.

Sad...sad statement indeed. But it reveals the mindset of Freedom House. I will share some personal stories I had regarding this same matter.

Yuji...did your school teacher tell you reading is not good fuh yuh?

Yugii went to school in August month.

Jagdeo and Rumouthar are both dunces. No surprise that their disciples would think this way about reading.

All of you are taking Abidah's statement out of context. What I understood is that he was making a reference to TK about theory vs being practical. I haven't seen anywhere that he implied that reading is bad. This PRK character wants to politicized the idea to blame the government on the education front. This is quite embarrassing your part, folks.

Strange as it may seem, I have to side with the venom miester on this, he hath hissseth well.

Well, it took an old hippie to tell these scholars that they're politicizing. Thank you, Hyppo!
