America has the most expensive, comprehensive public education system in all of human history. And what do we get for it?
Not much!
This video is 14 minutes long, but you’ll be groaning long before that. These Americans KNOW NOTHING. Really–not a thing. Their country’s history means nothing to them. They might as well be living in a walk-in freezer.
How long can sheer ignorance support a modern state?
I don’t think finding out will be much fun.
What a storm we had last night! For 47 years I’ve been slamming our back door shut against the wind and rain. Last night, for the only time in history, it went perfectly into the door frame and then wouldn’t come out. Happily, our neighbor Josh took care of it this morning.
Meanwhile, we have decided to get me a hip replacement before we do anything else. My wife and my sister (nursing student, Advanced Practice Nurse) have the credentials and I’d be a fool not to take their advice. I’m not looking forward to any more time in the hospital–but again, I trust Patty and Alice to steer me right.
At least the murderous heat got washed away last night. A nice day for reading a book and smoking a cigar.
Happy Fourth of July, everybody!
My Country, ‘Tis of Thee–I can’t hear this, let alone try to sing it, without my eyes filling up. “Long may our land be bright/ with freedom’s holy light!/ Protect us by thy might,/ great God our King.”
Those words have never been truer than they are now.
