Donald Mills on GD young people and reading

Books were also our primary source of learning. We didn’t have the internet and half-assed sources of information like Wikipedia in my day. If we needed facts we went to the library and hauled out a 15-pound dusty tome from the mid-1800s or consulted a 27-volume set of the Encyclopedia Britannica. And let me tell you – if you couldn’t find the answer you were looking for, you weren’t meant to know it.  Donald Mills, God Damned Young People Never Crack a Book

Read Mr. Mills little rant. Hurry before "We’ll be nothing more than a nation of illiterate, tweet-farting morons."

Now, ask yourself if you hear your own thoughts echoed in this little piece.

Scary, huh?

Actually I found god damned old dude quite hilarious and spent some time reading his rants. Thanks for the randomness of my day, or you know, semi-randomness.

Hi Mary Ann,

I'd find him funnier if I didn't recognize so much of myself in him!
