My 9th grade English teacher read the Iliad to us, explaining words and phrases as he went along. It was an incredible experience. He also read Romeo and Juliet in the same way. I considered it a great gift to allow us to experience the tru

Thanks. That feels like weird chain of causality. All the bad stuff only disappears when the systems protecting us from them are removed.
