You know I've noticed a certain anti-intellectualism going around
this country ever since around 1980, coincidentally enough. I was in
Nashville, Tennessee last weekend and after the show I went to a
waffle house and I'm sitting there and I'm eating and reading a
book. I don't know anybody, I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a
book. This waitress comes over to me (mocks chewing gum) 'what you
readin' for?'...wow, I've never been asked that; not 'What am I
reading', 'What am I reading for?' Well, goddamnit, you stumped
me...I guess I read for a lot of reasons — the main one is so I
don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress. - Bill Hicks
BTW people said this about spell checkers at one point. "Why bother learning to spell, the computer will fix it"
