there's lots of non-readers out there. Many or most in power.

I think the greater problem seems to be the media and establishment's ignorance of the storytellers. Years of history has been lost because of bigotry and it's seemingly destined to happen again because judgement has fallen and so too have the people; from favour and public life, we're being forced back into the shadows.

A time will come when we will all need to do what we should have done from the start: Sit down and talk. Right now, we're ready to talk but no-one cares to listen.
