"We have it in our power to begin the world over again." — Thomas Paine, c. 1774
IT S NO SECRET THAT OUR PRESIDENT WANTS TO "REMAKE" AMERICA (Barack Hussein Obama). This is the final column for now in a series based on a book review of "The Most Brilliant Thoughts of All Time" by John M. Shanahan — who also created the "Hooked on Phonics" program. I meant to mention that in the previous columns, because that alone would make Shanahan a hero in my book. If this country had taken the money it spent on Midnight Basketball and bought Hooked on Phonics tapes for public schools, we wouldn t have so much illiteracy (or illiterate athletes).
A friend of mine would like to see more of my thoughts (thanks) ,
