Everybody wants change until it is their ...Ah ha!!! Everybody wants change until it is their turn to do the changing. I hate that. I'm wondering if a place exists that is not like that. I can't even think about the schools (because my wife is a part of that system) but you can make all the difference in the world, and then next year when you have a new teacher, and that teacher isn't quite up to snuff, you lose everything. I hope that it is as it always has been... just that now they have 24/7 news and little things are made into big things simply because they need to put something on the screen. Otherwise I am scared for my kids...Mad Hatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01732434557307961095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2477135502429982661.post-55160515100986023482011-06-27T09:43:46.010-04:002011-06-27T09:43:46.010-04:00Short answer - yes, we ARE doomed to make the same...Short answer - yes, we ARE doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again.<br />People don't vote on reason, they vote on emotion. No one understands basic economics any more. Instead, they put their faith in "leaders" - who are just people, some smarter, some dumber - to either use government to enforce "Social Justice" or to use it as a religious battering ram. Then everyone whines because they don't get everything they were promised. They fight over BS and purposely-inflammatory topics - making a vast sucking sound while education and the economy both are circling the drain. Oh, let's turn on the news and watch people fight, or the endless Casey Anthony trial! <br /><br /> You really can't fix stupid.Aunt Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745455426720211455noreply@blogger.com
