if i had the mind set that a few of the guys had in my request for personal information about a scion, i would answer, as they did with their, "it's the ugliest thing on wheels", therefore i don't like bush because he is the uglies dumbest creature on too legs,, with the possible exception of the newest female boxers, paula jones and tonya harding.
but you asked a real question and it deserves a real answer,
from Splain It to Me, Loosely
i have no clue what kerry brings to the table, but i have seen what bush has brunged, branged, brungest. out of respect for you i used his name, istead of my nick name for him. something he likes to do to people of some significance, possibbly because he can't remember names.
i make fun of his inability to speak coherently, as a lark and a put down, even as i have always said during debates, just because one side of the debate is elequent, and the other side fumbles for words to describe their opinion, doesn't mean elequence is the clear cut winner. i listen to the ideas presented and do the best i can to look for the truth and not the jargon.
i know their is an agenda in this administration that is designed to affect us more then people realize. 100 or so years ago schools were designed to teach us to read, write, and arithmetic. the literacy rate was close to 100%, with exceptions of course. people were all pretty much entrepreneurs. you worked on the family farm or in the family store or maybe you worked for some small business in town or you made things to trade.
before the industrial revolution, there were no factory jobs because there were no factories.
now the owner of factories have a problem. they need a work force.
people coming out of school have not been trained to expect to work for someone in a factory job that will be boring, but will pay them a wage.
now begins the "dumbing down of america.
if you remember your grade and high school, the curriculum was designed to teach you how to get a job. the more schooling you got, the better job you could expect. there was nothing in the curriculum that taught you how to provide for yourself by yourself. it takes a while, but you finally reach a point where schools graduate children that have no sense of independence, no sense of themselves other then how they will fit into the society, get the job, buy the car, buy the home, not build it yourself.
it is no longer necessary for the graduate to be able to add and subtract because the computers at the stores will tell them how to make change. it is no longer necessary to be able to read and comprehend. if you could, you might read one of those books that are written that try to remind you to think for yourself. this is not required by owners of factories.
literacy rate in the usa down to 65%.
on an assembly line, you don't even have to know what you are part of making. i worked on an assembly line when i was discharged from the service and found out i was making radios. i was a tinner. i plugged in my pot of lead and as pieces of wire with the ends twisted came to me, i dipped them in the molten lead and passed them on to someone else to do something.
none of this has to do with party lines.
let me give you a few references.
