Disposable Knowledge and Disposable Bodies

The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.... A violently active, intrepid, brutal youth - that is what I am after ... I will have no intellectual training. Knowledge is ruin for my young men.

Kudos to you for sharing Kit B. The GOP line up of "America's Most Wanted", and this backward state are doing all they can to take us back to the good ole days, that were hell for minorities and women. Love the quote sums the deed up in a nutshell!!

Outstanding article Kit. I find it unfortunate that I am only allowed to send you one star a week. I just watched the 1966 British production of Bradbury's Farenheit 451, and what is happening in Arizona is eerily similar. This insanity must be stopped!

Geesh - Mike that really makes me feel old - Farenheit 451, I hope I'm wrong but I do think I read that in high school.

lol, if it makes you feel any better, so did I :) although Wyndham's The Chrysalids was by far my favorite from my high school days.

This is a direct assault on individual rights and intellect! The world is ruled by philistines...the masses ought to wake up and throw over the status quo!

Gee, I had forgotten that one, it was good. I remember a time when many had bumper stickers that said, "Who is John Galt" so then I read every damn book written by Ayn Rand, of course other than too many pages to say nothing that was not exactly great reading. I betcha you read Philip K Dick and Ray Bradbury as well.

Yes, and Arthur C. Clarke as well. Never read any Ayn Rand, and from what I have heard, I never will.

This seems to be a favorite act of dictators.

As Nietzsche said, take care when you are fighting monsters lest you become one.
