What makes me mad...

Few things get me more riled up than irresponsibility: when some individual human being either refuses to, or has been rendered incapable of taking responsibility for their past, present, and future thoughts, actions, and attitudes, and the ongoing effects (consequences, if you will) each of these will have on their own life and relationships, the life and relationships of everyone they come in contact with, as well as the the corporate environment of any organization they are involved in.

Yes, one person does matter that much.


And this guy just pointed out how I'm going to have to deal with it for the rest of my life, and increasingly so, as it is a self-perpetuating, viscous cycle, unable to redeem itself.

Grrrr...

So, while you think your precious children are off at their local government school learning how to read, how to do basic mathematical computations, how to communicate effectively in the English language – plus a bit about science, health, our economic system and American and world history – your kids may instead be engaging in exercises created by leftist, anti-capitalist college professors designed to teach them that wealth is distributed, rather than earned, and that our economic system is based on something comparable to a mad scramble for pennies.

Here, I want you to read the entire instructions for this classroom exercise. Go through the entire exercise and see if you can find the word "earn" one single time. Read the exercise for yourself and see if you can find one reference to actually working to acquire wealth. Look for any reference to the benefits that can flow from good decision making.

Students, for instance, are given the opportunity to donate pennies to others, but the exercise does not give students with more pennies the option of actually hiring a student with less to actually perform some task or chore (clean out my book bag?) in exchange for a few pennies. No! Never! We can't teach that in a government school! Why in the world would we want to teach school children that preparation, knowledge, training, hard work and good decision making are the keys to acquiring wealth?

These institutions are no longer schools. They are government indoctrination centers, owned and operated by government and staffed by government employees who have every reason to teach dependency on government and no reason to produce a generation of children who have learned how to depend on themselves.

The single most prevalent form of child abuse in this country is the act of sending a child to a government school. We worry incessantly about the separation of church and state. We would do well to devote half as much attention to the separation of government and education.

Call him extreme. But it's true. This system of education only breeds irresponsibility.

Just shoot me now.
