What THEY call it may be some other terrm, though...LOL...at least until they get old enough, like me, to appreciate it. Also, If the kid is constantly hit with turbulence and bird flocks (not to mention, all the droppings), and never given the benefit of the old pilot's experience, he's NEVER going to keep his wings level....guaranteed to crash!

However, it's all about timing...when the engine starts a-sputterin, ya gotta release the starter. And if the kid can't keep the wings level, ya gotta take (sometimes unpopular) alternate action. Fill in the blanks before emiting platitudes of wisdom and hope before they crash and burn. HERE HERE, Philo, well-said!

It is so sad. Every generation has its trials and tribulations and while they may not be the same as the prior generations, they are equally troubling.And we troubled our parents equally...tey just didn't see it on so many different types of media 24/7. Instead of ranting about how easy things are now, or how not everyone should get to go to college...(are YOU qualified to play God and deny someone funds to go to college? Are YOU able to seein to the future and know that a poor person won't develop a cure for cancer?). Help support the future generations with the wisdom from your mistakes and successes. Encourage them to be resourceful and hopeful. Because these are the people who will guide your grandchildren and greatgrandchildren into the future. Make your contribution to this generation heroic.

I went to public schools for all my k-12 education....and we learned about the Constitution and about free market principles...and all of those things you claim are being left out. I want schools to offer a balanced education....not a "liberal" education or a "conservative" education. I want kids to learn about all forms of government, all forms of science, all forms of economics, and all forms of religion. My kids will know our family's values regardless of what the school teaches. I want my children to be as well read and broadly educated as possible.

And you expect President Obama to fix things in a year? Give me a break, and please get out of MY COUNTRY! Scary: How do you know the union workers were Black? I'm sure it's just a racist assumption by you. Here's an idea ... I'm sure FOX NEWS can be seen in some other country where the presence of African Americans is minimal. Why not move there?

After all, they've educated most of our population. The Constitution and free market principles are not taught. Basic economics are ignored. The schools themselves are government sponsored monopolies. Emphasis is on creating government dependent citizens. The Wall Street Banksters are held up as examples of the "free market". Keynes is worshipped. God certainly is not. America's children are reaping what their parents have sown. I pity them. Their anger is justified. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. We have followed His principles, and we are as a tree planted by the rivers of water. Young people, turn to the Living God! There is hope in Christ. Read Psalms 1 and 2. These promises are faithful and true. The public school brainwash centers deserve most of the credit. After all, they’ve educated most of our population.
