If People Would Only Read

If people would only read some
    Dickens, they'd know that 'bedlam'
      begs confinement, not release 

  If people would only read some
    Bradbury, they'd shriek at the horror
      of multiple personalities unleashed

  If people would only read the summaries by
    Freud, of his five in-depth psychoanalytic studies -
      madmen and madwomen - they'd put a halt to

  what the friends of today's 'victims of systemic racism'
    have perpetrated on a naive, unsuspecting West

Interesting theories and behavior reasoning he shared. Difficult course not because of content but because the Professor loved to play tricks in his questioning... Thanks for sharing Gershon...
