Bruce, Such a dull-witted lad you are.
First, try to form complete sentences. I have a reading comprehension WHAT? Second, doesn't much matter whether you meant my understanding of history OR human nature was "pap". Your still wrong. Third, a deficiency in my eyesight would limit my ability to see what I read and not my ability of comprehend anything I read. You be careful with that guillotine your always talking about, little boys shouldn't play with sharp objects. I'll probably out-live you. Your going to talk yourself to death someday.
