Remember back in the day when our parents would say that this next generation was "going to hell in a handbasket"?....well,from some of the things I've been hearing lately....it is our turn to quote that old adage. This younger generation seems to take pride in being oblivious to events that occurred before they were born....like a 5th grader in my daughter's class who didn't have a clue about WW11, or a young woman in her late 20"s who is at the top of her profession not knowing much of anything that happened in her field before her birth. History just isn't important,as good old George believed......so much for "No Child Left Behind"......ignorant and ill-prepared most definitely, but not "Left Behind"....remember when Education was considered primary in our schools?,.
Well, the silly season is upon us so this is as good a time as any to take a break.....besides the grandkids are coming for their yearly visit (nothing like living at the beach to ensure seeing family) and there is much to be done before the big arrival,including dog,!....so until some other time....hasta la vista.

Dangerous Rhetoric
Tonight, after listening to an interview with Sen.John McC.......I was infuriated by the s--- that came out of his mouth! He obviously doesn't remember(and hopes that we don't either) our involvement in other countries affairs when he spoke of "America stands as a symbol of freedom and has always been against any regime that oppresses its people",He spoke of Pres.Reagan and his courage in speaking out....where? in Nicaragua?? in Chile?? Peru? Guatamala in 1950 ? We have always backed a regime that was beneficial to our interests! This is the type of rhetoric that is so dangerous....and tonight,we should be thanking our lucky stars that McC didn't win the election.....because as a statesman, he is a disaster.
What the Hell is Going on with our Prez?
What the hell is going on with our Prez? On Inauguration Day he proclaimed that his presidency would be one of "transparency"...and on many issues he has been forthright.....however,on many important matters he has been behaving more like the previous holder of that office,much to the dismay of a large segment of his followers....he appears to be embracing the same cloak of secrecy( a la Cheney)i.e.public disclosure continuing the wireless wire-tap actetc.,etc.,Why is he covering for the Cheney Gang?Why is he stalling on DADT? What is going on behind the scenes?Why the about face? This ain't "Change",Bro!
