Now, that ain't right...
I suggest asking Freedom Writer's Diary publisher Random House
http://www.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin/feedback/feedback.php?loc=http://www.randomhouse.com/
to donate the Jesup Public Library a generous supply of the Freedom Writer's Diary and perhaps several other titles of their inventory concerning freedom & independence...
The intent of the Freedom Writers Diary,
" a life-changing, eye-opening, spirit-raising odyssey against intolerance and misunderstanding"
http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl/9780385494229.html
ironically demonstrates in this case also the incarcerating power of a Hermes' mercury gone terribly retro.
"And now, since you are the father of writing,
your affection for it has made you describe its
effects as the opposite of what they really are...
... you provide your students with the appearance
of wisdom, not with its reality. Your invention will
enable them to hear many things without being
properly taught, and they will imagine that they have
come to know much while for the most part
they will know nothing. And they will be difficult
to get along with, since they will merely
appear to be wise instead of really being so."
-Plato, Complete Works: John Madison Cooper,your affection for it has made you describe its
effects as the opposite of what they really are...
... you provide your students with the appearance
of wisdom, not with its reality. Your invention will
enable them to hear many things without being
properly taught, and they will imagine that they have
come to know much while for the most part
they will know nothing. And they will be difficult
to get along with, since they will merely
appear to be wise instead of really being so."
