think it through...

Today's Thought

Think about it... If our public educators were really doing a great job over the past one, two, ten, or fifty years; if they were truly effective; if our education-bound tax dollars were well-spent, would we not see more and more truly educated young citizens entering society? Would not our workforce be more productive, our writers more literate, our art more refined? Wouldn't the cost of a public building decrease as our bright young engineers bring new and better methods to the fore? Seems that way to me, but I just don't see it.

The Problem with Today's Generation

What is it about thinking for yourself that is soooooooo difficult? I mean, what is wrong with people today?

Is it just me, or are we as a society getting stupidder by the day? Am I the only one finding it more and more and more (not to mention, more) difficult to have a deep conversation with someone? When I was a kid people would talk about politics or religion occasionally, though they were both topics worthy of avoiding at the dinner table with guests. But when the topics did come up, generally speaking, something of meaning was conveyed. Nowadays, politics and religion are all anyone talks about, but no one has anything of substance to say! We all just seem to love to hear one another regurgitate the latest tripe we've heard from our favorite talking head. And we're satisfied with that. It just doesn't go any deeper than, maybe, what? - three eighths of an inch?
