I love my e-reader, but I think physical books, and reading physical books to little kids, makes all the difference.

I grew up in a house full of books, and so did my kids. Everybody reads, and most of us start kindergarten reading well.

What we need is adults who will read to children, most importantly adults who have time to read to children.

You know what's sad? That parents don't have enough money to buy books and/or enough time to read books to their kids. Some parents are illiterate themselves.

Thirty hour work weeks paying comfortable living wages are the solution to that problem... Super-library-community-centers would be another good solution.

Too bad the uber-wealthy have sucked the life out of everyone. To them we are all merely replaceable cogs in their machines, or else we are useless.

I'm not knocking the Obamas. This is a good thing. But we shouldn't have to be cajoling uber-wealthy assholes to do the right thing.

We the people should be enjoying the benefits of the wealth of this nation and the wealth we create. Money and those who manipulate money are not gods. What's this $250 million dollar shit? The amount some uber-wealthy persons will be able to write off their taxes? What good is that? It just means other social necessities will not be taken care of.
