What is the aim or goal of your writing:
2nd ed. says, "I deplore tyrants and tyranny in all its forms and I do not suffer fools gladly. I believe fervently in democracy in spite of all its inadequacies and realize that most of the nations on this planet would not have allowed a book such as mine to see the light of day. I'm convinced that universal public education in America is a charade and that it must be re-evaluated and re-structered if it is to be a viable force in the future."
