Remember it! Write it down! Record it! Someday you'll tell your great grandchildren you were present when elected officials, school administrators, and parents chose illiteracy and ignorance over literacy and intelligence.

Never in my 42 years have I witnessed Americans attack education with such venom, ferocity, and the macabre that they make Ted Bundy look like a stand up guy.

In Pennsylvania, Governor Corbett took a chainsaw to education and defunded higher education with such vicious precision--even Leather Face would have found it heart wrenching to watch.

But Governor Corbett is one of many elected officials that provide the wealthy and corporations with free-bees and tax breaks while stripping the middle class, working poor, and poor of much needed services all the while having the audacity to say we must all sacrifice. What are you sacrificing, Sir?

I said this before--education should never be laid on the operating table of budget cuts, pure and simple. Yet, education and social service programs are always the first to be devoured by elected officials with such apathy that it would've made Jeffrey Dahmer become a vegetarian.

As we continue to see the rise of the "American Nitwit" and the demise of the Republic's once love affair for scholarship, our nation continues to resemble the poor man's version of Europe's Dark Ages.
