Maybe There Are Books Worthy Of The Fireman After All

clipped from www.davidwarrenonline.com Still, there are books even these people read, and they need burning. One thinks for instance of the book entitled, All I Really Know I Learned in Kindergarten, by Robert Fulghum, published two decades ago. It is a book of breathtaking banality, that exactly expresses not only the beliefs of its author, but those of his unlettered charges. Among the articles of Mr Fulghum’s credo: share everything; play fair; don’t hit people; say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody; hold hands and stick together; wash your hands before you eat. Or to paraphrase, life is just a huge playing field, in which everything that is good or beautiful or true, must be brought down to the level of the tiniest moral and intellectual toddler, and bureaucratically organized so that the feelings of this imbecile will never be hurt.
