RE: Funny article

I completely agree, Pam.  It's really quite frightening, isn't it?

The public educational system has just flat broken down.  An entire
generation is literally being set up for failure.  It is utterly insane.
No one accepts responsiblity for anything.  The dumbing down of a once
proud and industrious nation makes me sick to my stomach. 
Anyone else remember what happened to the Roman Empire?  It became
corrupt, decayed and broken down from within long before the boys from
the North rode in and finished it off.   Once that last responsible
and smart (thinking) generation retires, you just hide and watch how
fast this country goes to H in a handbasket.   Mark my words on
that.....
Oh, and don't get me started on that pansy-a__ crybaby politically
correct bidness.  Mmm mmm mmm
