"They didn't seem to care as much about what I taught -- literature, writing and psychology
Well, duh."
"Not a problem, then. You'll be working for the women who do find them valuable. The ones who can write a decent report or memo. The ones who have some idea of what makes folks tick when they make decisions. The ones who understand that literature pretty much covers every aspect of human behavior."
I don't care how well written someone is, if the content is sh*t! Look at the "well written articles" in NYT, and WP. Very well composed, but they say NOTHING. Then read some of the blogs posted by our fighting men and women. Misspellings, dangling participles, over use of gerunds, etc., but so rich in content.
It was not our superiority in literature that made us a super power.
The Oprahfication of our nation will be our downfall.
