If we lost this, we lost it in theoretical terms and we lost it in the classroom... and it continued for so long, there's a multiplier effect. That's where the failure began. Public schools that failed to serve the public interest. |

AMERICA IS SOMEWHAT LIKE AN OBESE YOUNG PERSON....
WE ARE ENGORGED ON GOVERNMENT.... EXPENSIVE, "EMPTY CALORIE" GOVERNMENT. WE DO NOT NEED A COMPLEX "CURE"..... WE NEED A WHOLE LOT LESS GOVERNMENT. (ESPECIALLY THE EXPENSIVE, DEBILITATING, CLOYING, INVASIVE, JUNK GOVERNMENT THAT HAS INSERTED ITSELF INTO EVERY ASPECT OF OUR NATIONAL LIFE, BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.) |

If there's a lesson to be drawn from this, perhaps it's not that Perry is too stupid to be President.. Perhaps it's that a college credential doesn't make you smart? Some of the dumbest fuckers I've ever met had letters after their name. They couldn't actually think pro-actively, if their lives depended upon it. The majority of learned folk have only their prescribed textbook scripts to draw on. They can't think outside the box, as they're not even aware there is one. Place these witlings in a crisis that doesn't fit their parrot-fashion nonsense, and they quail in trepidation. At that point, you'll often find that it's left to folk with no formal erudition, to bring forth the creativity that's required. |

Shit, you already knew that one, J_X. We all did. These credentialed, faculty lounge theoreticians are obviously unable to do that.. The failure brings into question the true value of their education. The casual observer would have to be forgiven for looking at their performance and assuming the primary benefit they derived was a credential that lets them turn in powerful, politically connected circles... A place they are not otherwise qualified to be. |

That's been my experience as well.. My parents and family in general are educated people. But they're truly educated, meaning that they can use their education to solve real world problems. The current system of apportioning positions of responsibility on the basis of education alone fucking sucks, big time. It needs to be shattered, and made anew. Next time, with an eye to actually empowering people of real capability, over and above people who merely spent time memorising empty facts and figures. What fucking use is that, if nothing can be done with it? I could memorise a cake recipe; that doesn't mean I could actually bake it. |

Being the elite and turning in their circles carries with it a queer sort arrogance. Like pornography, it's difficult to describe but easy to recognize.. And they seem to believe that this is as good as it can get! Hey, if they can't do the job.. Who can?
It's terribly frustrating. They see themselves as Plato's philosopher kings, while the rest of us see a circus. |

THE GOAT...... JUNIOR WELLS http://youtu.be/lfVO3d394GU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ WE USED TO ELECT OLDER PEOPLE TO POSITIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY.... PEOPLE WHO HAD RAISED CHILDREN AND DISTINGUISHED THEMSELVES IN REAL LIFE. EXPERIENCED, PROVEN PERSONS WHO HAD DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCE AND A REAL-WORLD RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT. |

THE GOAT...... JUNIOR WELLS http://youtu.be/lfVO3d394GU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ NOW WE ELECT... AND RE-ELECT... PROFESSIONAL LIARS, LOOTERS, PREENERS, AND ONE DIMENSIONAL BOUTIQUE PISSANTS LIKE BARAK OBAMA AND HIS CROWD.... AND FUNNY LITTLE CRACKPOTS LIKE DENNIS KUCINICH, HENRY WAXMAN, ETC. NO REAL STATESMAN WOULD ACCEPT A THIRD TERM IN CONGRESS. |
