8. Obviously, the key is to read critically

I was fairly well-read before I called up my draft board and asked if they could take me. I'd been graduated with honors, editor of my HS newspaper, and had full-tuition journalism scholarships to USC. Yet I chose to go to war instead of college.

For all I knew, it turned out that I knew very little.

I don't believe that what one chooses to read is necessarily an indicator of their worldview or their politics. I read Ayn Rand very early on and didn't like it at all. Reading it had no influence on me. Maybe if Ryan had read more critically he wouldn't be as far out there as he is.

Luv to you and Alma...
