Another unfinished sentence and responses it elicited in October 1991:
Thomas Gradgrind, a teacher in Hard Times by Charles Dickens, makes no bones about what students should master. "Now, what I want is facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon facts; nothing else will ever be of any service to them..." This logic is most chilling (or most sensible) when one considers...
...that you're contemplating this from the bowels of a deep freeze. (Eric S.)
...that the man has quite a valid point, considering how trite or fleeting all subjective references seem in retrospect. (Christian E.)
...it's because of logic like this that "Dragnet" stayed on TV so long. (Miranda G.)
