sorry I didn't give you a (You)!

>Literature is in popular decline, but so are most things
This to me is actually a positive I think. Kids today are mental deficients, even by my standards of being an 80s kid raised by Nintendo and PC games. Many of these young people obsessed with insta and twitters aren't going to be splitting the atom, they're born consumers. And, despite what youtube would have them believe, the pool of quality, original creators is shrinking.

The only reservation I have about an English degree is I already know a fair amount about it. Intertextuality. Chiastic structure. Ring composition. The importance of hamartia. Demythologization is played out, remythologization is where it's at. So on. And if I do an online school like ASU then I have to suffer through SJW topics for a grade.

this is an awful event among the worst since the death of Christ
