RE: Education is your duty, not your right (knowledge is power)
You certainly make the book sound intriguing!
"Education is your duty, not your right."
I like that. I like that a lot. People misuse the term "right" so much it is enough to make you want to give them a left... hook... KIDDING! Non-aggression all the way!
I have a simple litmus test: Would it work if I were a squirrel?
Our Creator gave us rights, and it really was not so much a human thing. All creatures arrive here with pretty near the same rights! Governments are instilled among men to attempt to coerce people into surrendering rights...
Does a squirrel have the right to pursue happiness? Sure does!
How about the right to self defense? Absolutely!
Does he have the right to be educated? Nope. Has a need to educate himself if he wants to survive.
That's an interesting way of seeing things, I believe. Squirrels all the way, in that case ;)
It is a good book, yes. As I said, you learn a few things, at the very least.
