True literacy is becoming an arcane art and the United States is steadily dumbing down.

To introduce something altogether new would mean to begin all over, to become ignorant again, and to run the old, old risk of failing to learn.

When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.

Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
