As our children learn less and less at school, as our citizens become more and more dependent on government programs, as our senior citizens make more sacrifices in order to provide "free" health care, our politicians are vacationing all over the world this weekend under the guise of "research." And this being Independence Day weekend, no less. It's disgusting. Come November, I hope Americans remember how the politicians have been treating us like pawns in their game of chess.<br /><br />Happy Independence Day. Pray for our troops and our country. <br /><br />NoCal GalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-64697060471441670202010-07-04T13:30:07.308-07:002010-07-04T13:30:07.308-07:00How can we have common sense in our society or wor...How can we have common sense in our society or world for that matter, when people are fed mass media as truth. Has anyone considered the drop out rate being so high may be due to the fact that most teachers do not care about teaching the truth nor do they care about the kids. Home school, and I bet the drop out rate would practically diminish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-69831996381380965862010-07-04T12:44:51.445-07:002010-07-04T12:44:51.445-07:00Welcome to the world of public education, where th...Welcome to the world of public education, where the means are always more important than the end result.<br /><br />I pray daily that I will somehow be able to infuse my children with common sense, because I see so many people around me without any.<br /><br />MelodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-52096738434803020942010-07-04T09:40:46.142-07:002010-07-04T09:40:46.142-07:00My 92 year old father and I often talked about the...My 92 year old father and I often talked about the lack of common sense. When you think about it, not everyone has a sense of direction and some people don't have a sense of humor. I guess, we could then surmise, that not everone will have common sense. I also keep saying that, as a society, we are 'dumbing-down'. Scary isn't it?SHARONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408136143188209922noreply@blogger.com
