Oh, Jesus, another academic who doesn't know what he's doing
setting out to infect the minds of those who may, without
such interference, develop a rational facility. Give it
up!
If you don't KNOW the literature you propose to TEACH, what
good are you?
If you have to ask us (how many of us do you know personally?
are we experts, dilettantes, or merely 12-year olds with some
time to kill?) to suggest course reading, how equipped are
you to teach ANY course?
Give us all a break.Go get a job at Sam's Club. You'll fit
right in. PB
