By now you're aware about how I feel about the Socialist-in-Chiefs SOTU message. Everything was done to keep from watching. However, it's impossible to switch channels going from the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie on channel 14 to NCIS reruns on 16 without hitting on number 15. How long does it take to click through channel 15; possible a second and a half. This is what I heard: "We passed tax cuts". Lie number 1. There were no tax cuts. They were an extension of the Bush Plan. Lie number 2 and I've heard this since I started paying attention to these things: "We need to have better education to keep up the other nations who are leaving us behind". i.e. Throw billions more at a failed system.
Let me offer a couple of solutions to our education system. (1) Fire lousy, ill-informed teachers. Heaven knows I wasn't the Einstein of the classroom when I first entered the field but I tried to improve. Superintendent's need to eliminate the yokels who give the profession a bad name. This, in itself, may be an impossibility as long as unions control the schools. (2) Blow up inner city schools. Offer trade schools that teach reading, writing and arithmetic. Inner city high schools are and should not be college preparatory. (3) Have a dress code and adhere to it. (4) And, finally, keep pissin' money down a rat hole because as long as our culture is one of MTV, drugs, sex, low ridin' pants and foul mouthed punks nothing is going to happen of a positive nature. "Hey! I'm a realist, not an innovator"!
