Jen, you apparently rushed right through, did not read, and missed the entire point. Stay close here while I try to explain it to you. Most readers think it was an excellent article, including the reference to Dr. Suess and Horton. Mitch included it to illustrate the point.

You mentioned that you grew up reading Charles Dickens, although your outlook leads me to believe that you read Edgar Allen Poe.

You said "This was a very good article, once you got past all of the Dr. Seuss nonsense." Some teaching methods include a "childrens book to learn a life lessen (sic)…" Some people never learn these important lessons. This explains why we build prisons.

I would expect you to know that I would not give a 40 year old man (or woman) a Dr. Seuss book. Maybe someone should have given you a Dr. Seuss book? If you are not yet 40, perhaps there would still be hope for you if someone did?

Your final remarks grow testy and degenerate into personal assassination since you seem to have missed the point. Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore.'
