I'll be brief....Well, don't get me started.<br />I'll be brief.<br />First, I am a Social Democrat. It means I favor a structure which prevents to a degree at least insane accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few, usually the most ruthless.<br />Secondly, I am shaped somewhere else and I don't believe in positivity/smiling/strategic planning empty suitness. I do believe in solid education which does give a lot of knowledge. Somehow Aristotle and Tolstoy and Kafka managed to think, in spite of the sad fact that they all were disadvantaged and didn't have access to wonderful ("the best and the brightest" "thinking") American education.<br />I can continue of course forever ....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
