I got an MP3 player cuz Lou Brutus said so!

"Educatio est omnium efficacissima forma rebellionis" which is scripted in Latin.

The English translation means "Education is the most effective form of rebellion".

"Ignorance is the single greatest tool of oppression."



The quotes above are what have been interesting to me lately... education is important, we all know that, right? It is in fact, a human right. I believe that if you are intelligent enough to figure out what is propaganda and what is truth, then you are intelligent enough. I used to believe that education itself was propaganda, being that the sociological definition of it is "information disseminated by a group or organization intended to justify its own power." It is forcing us to think in the way the state/nation/whatever institution would like us to think. Education is set up by the government, with the power to reform us into anything.

Don't get me wrong I do still believe that whoever wrote the book and whoever forced me into this schooling system must have they're own needs in mind and not necessarily mine...(the bigger picture maybe?) But I found that education can be used however you like, which gives the people the power.

We owe it to ourselves to take full advantage of the education system to become as knowledgeable as possible which will allow us to make an impression on our society. I believe that in this world, one well informed person could have more power than an entire country and its up to them to use it... I'd never waste an opportunity to change the world in the way I'd like it changed...


"more can be accomplished with a book rather than a bat."

So basically, what I'm trying to say is, Don't fuck the system with your middle finger out of ignorant rebellion, but fuck the system by learning and act on what you're passionate about.
