The presentation on IDEAFARM.COM is intended to do more than communicate ideas; it is also intended to awaken and inspire the reader to both personal and collective action.

Prose text is not just a form of communication. It is a form of thinking, of guided thinking, for the writer as well as for the reader. Although guided thinking can be accomplished with other communication forms, generally speaking, prose text is is the most powerful form for guided thinking. That is why literacy is so important, both for the person and for the community and nation. Illiteracy, the inability to participate in the process of guided thinking using prose text, is intellectual blindness. Like a blind person attempting to cross a busy street, an illiterate person is in great peril, groping in darkness while attempting to navigate life.
