That is utter bat guano.  That is how RnR and Wingnut would 
approach it, no doubt - as reeducation camps.  But that is 
not at all what MacKaye wrote of.

For anyone that cares to verify this, please *do* read 
MacKaye's article, "A Project In Regional Planning,"  at 

<http://www.fred.net/kathy/at/mackaye.html>

It's short and sweet and a very easy read, and 
was found with a cursory web search using 
"Benton MacKaye" as the search term.

I'm beginning to suspect that RnR *is* Wingnut -- he 
has the same disregard for intellectual honesty, and 
a similar disregard for the intelligence of those he  
wishes to "educate."
