Sorry folks, I have to take exception to this.

Before divorce and impending poverty forced me back into the corporate
world, I ran an inner-city literacy program.  Most people who don't want to
learn have given up - usually due to years of invalidation by 'educators'
who made them feel stupid and inadequate.  Anyone can be motivated to learn
when treated with patience and respect.
