A tragic failure of American education in this century has been a failure to teach children how to read and write and how to express themselves in a literary form. For the educational system this may
not be too distressing. As we shall see later, their prime purpose is not to teach subject matter but to
condition children to live as socially integrated citizen units in an organic society - a real life enactment
of the Hegelian absolute State. In this State the individual finds freedom only in obedience to the State,
consequently the function of education is to prepare the individual citizen unit for smooth entry into
the organic whole.
However, it is puzzling that the educational system allowed reading to deteriorate so markedly. It
could be that The Order wants the citizen components of the organic State to be little more than
automated order takers; after all a citizen who cannot read and write is not going to challenge The
Order. But this is surmise. It is not, on the basis of the evidence presently at hand, a provable
proposition.
In any event, the system adopted the look-say method of learning to read, originally developed for
deaf mutes. The system has produced generations of Americans who are functionally illiterate. Yet,
reading is essential for learning and learning is essential for most occupations. And certainly those who
can read or write lack vocabulary in depth and stylistic skills. There are, of course, exceptions. This
author spent five years teaching at a State University in the early 1960s and was appalled by the general
inability to write coherent English, yet gratified that some students had not only evaded the system,
acquired vocabulary and writing skills, but these exceptions had the most skepticism about The
Establishment.

Okay, if we band together to try and take over... then what? The youth are an unguided lot who really don't know what to do with themselves.
The only thing they have are their naivety and passion.

This thread is full of generalizations from both sides. I am 31. My ability to critically think has not magically stopped a year ago. I could care less about snooki and don't even turn my television on, ever. I feel that most of us want good things for each other, but reality shows fill us with a unhealthy jealousy and criticism for our brethren.
I do believe that our youth will be the ones to put their foot down and take back the world from corporate interests. But then again, look at what happened to all the progressive thinking hippies. They became well paid yuppies who traded their peace signs for dollar signs..
I want to believe in the power of humanity to rise above adversity against the odds. Sadly, I feel that no major change will happen unless the current regime is obliterated. All of it. Banks, schools, gas stations, republicans.
I wait/want a fight club-esque revolution that will wipe out the farce that is credit worldwide and start us all from scratch.
