A Blog a Day....

As my friends would say--wait a minute; I don't have any friends! Be that as it may I can still play bridge online and remain anonymous. But isn't that what everyone wants? To shoot off their mouth and remain anonymous? That way no one gets blamed for being wrong, stupid, biased or whatever.
Kind of like the latest generation that believes they are the smartest only because they've been told that all their lives. Imagine their chagrine when they enter the real world only to find out they are only AVERAGE! It's got to be a mind-numbing experience for the YOU generation. Companies must hire people to come in and prop up their expectations. Some day the whole house of cards will come tumling down, only to present more problems.
My biggest complaint is that very few people learn any history. That is, anything that happened before they were born. They did not have the advantage of living through WWII, listening to radio--Marshall McLuhan's hot medium--and making up a visual picture in their mind. These, along with a good English teacher who didn't diagram sentences, but made sure you learned ten new words each week, even if you were bright to begin with, are experiences not available any more.
The electronic, miniaturized world of X Box, PS2 and cell phones, along with a game that teaches nothing except frustration, aggravation and aggression does not make for imaginative people who'll be tomorrow's inventors. It's kind of sad that no one noticed the terrific shift to the left in our colleges, but it crept up on us like"fog on little cat's feet" and we just cannot do enough to turn back the tide of those who'll blindly follow the Left until there is no noticeable difference between that which IS and that which is IMAGINED.
