"The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling." - Thomas Sowell

    Johnny and all the other students who became useful idiots, were spoon fed books like, “Why Do You Think You Think”, by Dr. Floyd Ferris.
