...this word perfectly defines Dr Odishoo...Magpie...Aprim and all the rest. The only professional scholar, academician and historian we have is Dr Joseph...and from the way we treat him and his profession we can see just how badly in need we are of professionals...in the Humantities...which is not Dr Odishoo...Dr Odishoo merely contributes to the problem.

..it's right about now that the brightest among us says, "we KNOW"...and "we don't have to look anything up"!

Brilliant.
