"DEFEND ARE VETERAN'S"

[maddiemom]

216. It's often unbelievable to open minded and well educated people who aren't

involved in education themselves to comprehend the levels of misguided and ignorant thought out there. The tragic thing is that it seems to be willfully growing these days in the US, as opposed to many developing countries where many are trying to bring things into the 21st century.
To many in our own country, critical thinking is tantamount to brainwashing. My dad was a high school dropout, who made a good living back in the day. He could also do complex math at a level I never achieved, the only problem being his inability to explain it to me. My mom had a year or so education after high school and was an early "working mom." Together they provided us a good, a bit into upper, middle class life. Despite the advantages for their kids, their grandkids, although well educated, are experiencing a much more uncertain future. Without benefit of education at college level and beyond, their grandparent's generation personified success in what Mitt called the 47% worthless Americans. Their grandkids maybe expected more, but most of their future was outsourced for the greed of the few. Our "leaders" never planned for, or cared about the future for most of the current generation.
