Look What Benjamin Learned in School Today...

    Today, I finally realized that early written work was built upon a tradition of poorly argued points and badly articulated ideas. The writers of history weren't the most intelligent their time had to offer; they were the people who could afford a leisurely lifestyle of studying facts and offering their opinions. An English Literature university course going anywhere further back than a century is the study of bad writers influencing bad writers. Skilled writers in such courses are like gemstones buried beneath mounds of dirt.
