Idiots R Us (Part II)
By Malcolm Hedges (05/26/08)
I ain't the smartest kid on the block. A review of my report cards in everything before High School is pretty discouraging. Somehow in the High School cycle things got better and I actually managed to be near the top of my class (With a demanding College Prep class schedule). This little window happened in the 1950's, just before the public school system self-destructed.
My parents insisted I go to college, so I did for one semester and then escaped.
This "farm boy" then ventured into what was then California and kinda did good. However, I was abruptly ejected and sent back to what was then Oregon.
Various circumstances and personal choices dumped me into the US Army for some 9 years. Most all of that period was educational, enjoyable and interesting.
After the Army, I suddenly found myself looking for work while attending Business School under the old GI Bill. I found work and got some really great education from the excellent instructors at the Business School.
Thanks to the great teachers and instructors in my old fashioned obsolete non-Progressive schools, I was actually encouraged and taught.
Check around on this and other new media outlets and you will find a lot of superb people that have similar if not vaguely related backgrounds.
What has this got to do with the price of watermelons?
The fact is that many if not most of the products of our present school systems can't read, spell, understand or write English.
When I can't understand what I did wrong but got a gut feeling I did, I ask for help. The nanny state mush-minds never have a clue anything is wrong.
A little research will reveal that this status is by design, the Progressive Socialist engine want's an illiterate populace.
A not significant concern is that those people get a chance to vote! And some are actually running for President of the United States!
Most big business operations continue to operate in spite of their idiot employees and idiot management.
Small businesses suffer the same struggles, but normally the management isn't as stupid.
