School  started this week and we're already seeing older kids playing  hookie.
A few decades ago I used to skip school, take the bus to downtown L.A. and  
spend the day reading among the denizens of the Central Library.  Most of  them 
were amiable winos, at least before lunch, when the business folk would  
arrive.  I read a great deal of California history.  
 
School, as presently constituted, can only dull any decently functioning  
brain.  I endorse library hooky as a method of raising the intellectual  level of 
the citizenry.  To professionals who disagree, I offer this  question:  What 
are you doing hanging around a library all  day?
