(Warning some strong language) A funny little article calling for a "War on Literacy", from Smooth Operator. Read some of the following heart breaking testimony concerning the dangers of literacy.
"'My mom used to go to the library every day. She dearly loved to read. Now, she is no longer with us,' spoke one heartbroken teen. 'She left with some dude she met at the library. I will never forgive books for taking my mother away.'
...
'I was trying to read this book once. It was a pretty good one, and that's the problem. It was addicting, like crack/cocaine or America's Funniest Carjackings. I couldn't put it down for the life of me... and that's almost what it took. I lost control of my vehicle and rolled over six times before coming to a stop on top of some cub scouts. That day, reading ended six lives and almost took my life as well. I haven't read since, I've been clean for nearly four days.' "
