The way young children learn to read is by reading with others. There are plenty of easy reader books, but the book alone won't do much. They need people to sit with them and help them thru each word, sentence and paragraph. We started with Bob books, then graduated to beginner childrens books of various levels. Most children's books will have levels that indicate their complexity. Once they're comfortable with those you can move to series like Magic Tree House, etc.

Oh wow, that's awesome and the best part of this dialogue. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together and post it here!

So what you're saying is those being critical of me are doing so because they assume they know how I've voted and what policies I've supported in my lifetime, based on a sentence I wrote?!? Nevermind that I've put my money and resources behind what I believe in, it's a line in a paragraph that counts. That's some solid reasoning right there... /s

You like to repeat yourself, seems like a defense mechanisms when lacking anything meaningful to say.

It's funny you think people with solar can opt out of taxes or circumvent paying their fair share when it comes to energy infrastructure. On the contrary, you can rest assured local utilities are doing everything they can to disincentivise the use of solar, by reducing purchase rates and tacking on all kinds of extra fees. Try spending more time educating yourself on topics you want to debate, otherwise you run the risk of boring those you're trying to impress.

I wouldn't consider this an argument, as you've not said anything with substance. Glad I could entertain you for a few minutes, you should be grateful for that.

No, it's like you're uninformed of US history throughout most of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Plenty of people with the means aren't adopting solar or renewables at a personal level. Furthermore, lacking energy security isn't a side effect of people adopting solar at home. Not sure what your agenda is, but it's not based on sound logic or reason.

You should be grateful for those us who can, and are moving this direction. It frees up power and resources for those that can't.

Not true, in these parts we don't wait for government to do everything for us. Already generating the vast majority of power I use via solar.
