H. G. Wells wrote (and re-wrote, then re-re-wrote, and finally re-re-re-wrote) a book called The Open Conspiracy--and eventually subtitled What are We to Do With Our Lives?--which is basically his game plan for remaking the world in his mind's eye's image. As one of the chapters was entitled "The Revolution in Education," I thought I would start there. Turns out it is a pretty tiny chapter, though--in fact, a mere three paragraphs. It doesn't look all that radical to me, either . . . though it does suggest scrapping the "current" system in favor of one which actually educates people, which is always a nice bell to ring. The chapter ends on this note: "Before we can talk politics, finance, business, or morals, we must see that we have got the right mental habits and the right foundation of realized facts. There is nothing much to be done with our lives until we have seen to that." Hard to argue with that. I don't know if I need to read the book, but if you do, it can be found at http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0201081h.html. Or, if you don't like that one, it's also available at http://www.inlex.org/stories/wells/opencons.html#4.
Amazon suggested this book for me . . . I suppose because I ordered my John Taylor Gatto book from them. See? This whole TIA thing has all kinds of benefits in the form of shoportunities! If those pissy little liberals would stop whining about it, it'd be a better world. Hey --if you've got nothing to hide, what the hell's the problem? Sheesh.
