“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ~~ Isaac Asimov, Newsweek: “A Cult of Ignorance” January 21, 1980
one caveat The study was of mandarin speaking children Mandarin is widely believed to be one of the most musical of all languages Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken tonal language, Mandarin Chinese, tones are distinguished by their distinctive shape, known as contour, with each tone having a different internal pattern of rising and falling pitch. Many words, especially monosyllabic ones, are differentiated solely by tone--- one wonders if this would hold true for less tonal languages ..................................................................... That being "said" early development may be of paramount importance during the middle ages a knight opined @: Give me a boy of seven, and I will make of him a knight----after age 11, never. and One of the religious orders claimed, give us a boy of seven and we will give you a man who cannot be broken. bf skinner was of a like mind.

easily misunderstood caveat In highschool I had a friend who was a bit on the wild side. He always had alcohol, and sold poloride pictures of his sister's vaginal lips---for %5.00 anyway poor michael was wandering down the road one night(most likely dead drunk) when he was struck by the front end of a car driven by a local hot rodder at 80 miles per hour? well, that was the end of michael--closed casket funeral the funeral home was on the other side of the high school parking lot, and we were given permission to attend. An ignorant preacher officiated. He obviously knew nothing of michael, but that ignorance didn't seem to slow him down none. Ok as the ceremony dragged on, the preacher got more and more ridiculous, and then when he said "God has taken one of his little angels home" I lost it I began to guffaw Laughing hysterically during a funeral didn't seem to be a good idea so I clapped my hand over my mouth to contain the laughter, and stumbled out the back of the funeral home Curiously some of the young ladies in attendance assumed that I was sobbing inconsolably ok for several days after, they would stop me in the hallway and hug me in an attempt to console me Not a bad parting gift from Michael Alsing May he rest in peace.
