Reading crisis among young people? Solved :)

I would so much wish for those younger people that do not read anymore, or that have never been told to read by their parents or school, to realize they're the ones getting screwed here.

By being spared the effort (as it is an effort, that is true) to make reading into a real habit, they're the ones that are not getting prepared as well as they could be for their adult life... while other kids (oftentimes form wealthier families) are getting very well prepared... to compete against them and to screw them (like our billionaire friends arr already doing today). Those richer kids are reading, a lot more.

As a child, I hated reading (it was a pain in the ass) but I was still required to read books, daily (thx to my grandfather and dad). I hated that until i realized the leverage all what I was reading gave me onto other people. And then, I started realizing there were indeed books I liked to read, for fun mind you, and some I loved reading! And loved them so much I would be reading them over and over again all my life.

Reading is a weapon. I would have though this idea would be quite obvious to US citizens (hi from France), more than anyone else, as they already have the constitutional right to bear weapons, right? Why don't they exercise said right to learn to use the most powerful of those weapons: books.

And of the rant, back to Calvin... but if you aren't already start reading, now. And make it into a habit.

Edit: clarifications.
