What have we learned??
”The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” — Cicero, 55 BC

You're telling the wrong people. We are the ones living within our means.

If more and more of us keep losing our jobs, that won't be true, either.

"people are dumb" - Me
lol no one ever learns and this generation is no exception. My 16yo sister inlaw didnt know what the holocost was and still doesnt really understand it. we quized her on a bunch of huge historical moments to see what stuff her school wasn't covering well enough or what wasnt quite sticking with her.. its interesting.. i remember when we covered that stuff in school it was supplemented with videos and such that would make it pretty hard to forget. idk I have a younger friend whose principal told him that it didnt seem that school was for him and that he would recommend that he drop out and get his GED because he wasnt seeming to be doing all that well in school.. how sad is that. and the kid did drop out too.

I questioned the US education system on another site as to how effective it is. Consensus was that it isn't education at all, but propaganda, particularly when it comes to learning about the rest of the planet or its history. Please note that the respondents were Americans. It would seem that knowing about the holocaust or the Roman Empire is less important than how many shots were fired at Bunker Hill. Cicero's quote is so relevant to the situation in the US and how it outlines the future of the US, one would think that its inclusion in school curriculum would be mandatory.
We indeed live in interesting times! |

Not to mention, all the good stuff gets skipped or told from an extremely skewed point of view - gulf of tonkin, bay of pigs, pearl harbor, etc. The education system in the US is just there to make subservient proletarians. Thanks Mr. Rockefeller. |
