In case you missed it, my following letter to the editor appeared in the July 14 issue of the Indianapolis Star. It is a response to a story they published on Mitch Daniels' favorite books:
What is Daniels reading? His list is chilling
I see our governor has turned scholar on us ("Gov. Daniels' reading list tilts to the right," July 9). His favorite authors? No surprise here for a governor who promotes America's dumbing down.
As the late/great honcho of the Chicago School of Economics, Milton Friedman's ideas have led our country to corporate welfare. Little better could be said of Daniels' hero, Charlie Murray, who slings hate speech against African-Americans and believes that rich elite children should be the only ones allowed in our schoolrooms. Didn't Our Man Mitch pass out one of Charlie's books at a meeting with the Indiana Educational Roundtable a while back? Didn't go over too well, did it?
I would suggest for self-awareness' sake that Daniels read the brain studies Dr. Kent Kiehl is doing on psychopaths, because the Ted Bundy-corporate-CEOS and politicians continue to kill in the name of cowboy economics, privatization and the flag.
Nonetheless, I'm glad to see that Mitch Daniels can read. All along we thought those bad ideas of his were his own.
