Looking foolish does the spirit good. The need not to look foolish is one of youth's many burdens; as we get older we are exempted from it more and more, and float upward in our heedlessness, singing Gratia Dei sum quod sum. (John Updike, Self-Consciousness: Memoirs, 1989, Ch. 6)

Reading, Pennsylvania
Here's a link to an August 27, 2008 article from The Reading Eagle Newspaper. This simply backs up and documents my prior post. It's sad to see a once-great city such as this go down the toilet to such an extent. I don't know the solution, except to suggest (a) that it will begin (if ever) in the homes and the schools, and (b) that it will take time -- measured in years if not generations. I'll be revisiting this subject in future postings.
