Dear John,
Let's try again. Neither of us has any idea whether those quotations (with
the exception of Hitler as quoted by William Shirer) are accurate, since
neither of us has seen the original sources of those quotations. Unless
you can tell me where Norman Thomas, Patricia Warren [sic--her name is
actually Patricia Nell Warren], or Ross Finny, Socialist Ph.D., said the
things attributed to them, I have no reason to believe that they
did. Certainly your thirdhand reproduction of the quotations does not
attest to their authenticity. Nor do the typos and grammatical errors so
painstakingly reproduced from the original essay.
So in fact, I'm saying that we have no way of knowing if the quotations are
real. Whether or not they are true is an imponderable.
Is anybody still wondering if government schools serve a purpose?
Fighting under the banner of pedantry,
Melynda Huskey
