Welcome to the blog. In this space I write about things that make me go hmm? Some things have importance to the saving of the republic, some things have an intent of frivolity, and some things have no intent. Regardless, they make me go hmm?
As an American raised during a time when critical thinking skills were paramount, essay questions were the norm, and the dreaded word problem in math prevailed, I acquired the skills necessary to retain my common sense despite colleges and universities trying drive it out of me. Once upon a time colleges required four years of English, four years of Math, four years of a foreign language, and four years of social sciences (World Geography, World History, U.S. History, Civics) for entrance. Back then a high school education prepared students to engage in everyday life and professions. Success was not predicated upon going to college. The high school education demanded more of its students then than many, dare I say most, college educations today.
Warning: the posts may cause chuckles, irritation, anger, tears, and thought. If this site encourages one to question things then it has succeeded!
Enjoy and thank you for stopping by.
