    Default Watching America slowly fade into oblivion

    So in South Dakota they do this thing. A bunch of one dollar bills are set out on some ice in a hockey rink. Then teachers from local schools are told to spend the next ten minutes trying to grab as much money as they can to fund their classes, while people laugh at them for being dumb enough to try to educate the next generation of South Dakotans when clearly no one in South Dakota cares about education.

    I am not the only one who does not know if the people running America are trying to kill America.

    Because that is what it looks like.

    Buckle Up.

    That video is really sick.
    Capitalism- which has always stunk- has hit the buffers of global warming. Most civilized countries will be able to adjust- but America ?

    This Republican idea came from the people who constantly claim you can't solve a problem 'by throwing money at it.'

    And so what do they do?

    You guessed it.
    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

    indeed.
    Better when teachers show up, and it helps when they teach instead of having kids meditate on their "privilege"

    I am very grateful that I had the privilege of being an American. I am sorry that you feel differently. You do know that you can give up your American citizenship any time you like?
