  "After all the years of normalcy and coddling,
   it was time to give the boy something to be
   pissed about.  How else would he succeed?
   Where would he find his motiviation, if not
   from the desire to tread over me? "

             "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius"
             p. 413

                 I've often had the thought
                 that "teaching someone to
                 think for themselves" is a
                 hard problem.

                 One of the few ways to go
                 about it would be to indulge
                 in contradictory, heavy-handed     From this point of
                 authority to the point where       view, the American
                 rebellion is inevitable.           School system has
                                                    some fortuitous
                                                    advantages...
