#13. Never has there been more to read, yet there are so few readers reading. Historically, we have gone from illiteracy to literacy to aliteracy.

Headlined “Shame of a Nation” and “The 1% Rules and the 99% Let Them,” the list appeared Monday courtesy of the free Once Daily Digest Email service of PopularResistance.org.
