stupid, disturbing and hilarious



"About twenty years ago, I was wachting the evening news, and a story came on about a small town somewhere in the south whose board of education - because of budget difficulties, I think - had decide to dispense with the teaching of foreign languages. A number of local citizens were interviewed on camera and asked to give their reactions to this new development, and one man said - and this is an exact quote; his words burned themselves into my brain and have been lodged ther ever since - : «I have no problem with it, no problem at all. If English was enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me»."

Paul Auster, in Here and Now - letters 2008-2011 - Paul Auster and J.M.Coetzee
