On YouTube, there is a video – “Did You Know?” (and version 2.0, which includes much of the original, while adding to it; this will scare you to death when you realize how Obama is marginalizing America’s “Yankee Know-how” as India and China leave us in the dust) which basically notes technological strides being made (increasingly quickly), while America plays games with education (already seeking control of the past in order to control the future a la Orwell; the past is already being rewritten as any sentient being can clearly see). China and India have such great populations (and their students don’t run the classrooms, or get to skip a jail term in return for going back to school and destroy every other student’s chance to learn; this takes some of the load off the police…until the next time they are called).

Poll after poll notes that Americans trust dems more with education. This is mass hysteria. Our public schools have fallen down…and they can’t get back up. You really think math teachers in lower grades could do triple-digit multiplication without the aid of a calculator? With the exception of old fogies who remember when students COULD work difficult math problems and continue to teach arithmetic (instead of worrying about the “self-esteem” of young hoodlums who, in turn, disrupt classrooms, affecting – infecting? – entire classes), I would bet against it.

India’s and China’s students are learning about the future of technology. Our students are watching videos, which are no substitute for reading the original book (or play) instead of Hollywood’s rewrite (so the director can take “credit” for the “improvement”; yeah, right). Best sign that a classic book has been rewritten: the author’s name as part of the movie’s title, eg, William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet…set in contemporary Venice Beach, CA. Of course, Shakespeare’s English (roughly contemporary with the KJV Bible) was preserved…but the setting is a constant distraction having nothing to do with the earlier Romeo and Juliet, which had a few omissions, but came close to portraying the original story.

We are watching America’s fall in the world. Charitable giving to foreign countries which suffer earthquakes or huge tsunamis? Tax it…and that will be the end of that. DC will tax it so that politicians can take credit for giving (other people’s) money to nature-challenged areas of the world.

Meanwhile, Obama surrounds himself with those who are Marxists or just the nuts who rally to defend copkillers.
