madcow writes "Anonymous blogger Atrios is talking about an project by a blogger now working for the military in Afghanistan who says that literacy, and potentially, true reform, is being hindered by a simple lack of pens. Read it here.

Simple fix

All that needs to be done is have all elementary and high school level librarians pick up the pens on the floor as they walk to their office each day!
