Counter-Economics: Afghan Style

June 2001: The Taliban are the champions of illiteracy and highest incarnations of ignorant arrogance. RAWA believes that despite manifold impediments and meager resources, one of its duties is to carry the torch of literacy and knowledge among women in defiance of the Taliban and enlightenment-hating fundamentalists. All the classes are run secretly in some cities.

You go, RAWA!

I’d tip my hat to these folks, but I am not wearing one right now :-)

Did I get any laughs with that attempt at humor there?

Be honest!
