At the risk of sounding arrogant, I was exceptionally good at teaching. I was very close to parents and teachers, got good evaluations, was requested for job assignments, and on and on. Yet the bureaucracy never stopped shitting on me. I gradually became aware that the people most likely to be favored with promotions and pay raises included the laziest and most stupid, the biggest backstabbers, etc.
Eventually, I discovered the logic behind it. Education is a good old boy's club, firmly controlled by corrupt elements that promote their cronies, relatives and love interests. And that's pretty typical of this country in general; everything has become terribly corrupted.
There's no question that I've been ripped off big time, and I don't apologize for my belief that SOMEONE owes me big time. If it were legal, I wouldn't feel the slightest shame in breaking into the home of a teachers union whore and robbing him blind or embezzling funds from Bill Gates' bank account.
And I think that's a good attitude. I'm sick of people who don't see the connections between corruption and the fix we're in, or who don't believe in accountability for white collar criminals, school officials and politicians. When you consider that these MORONS help perpetuate the system, I sometimes feel like they owe me something, too - at the very least, a couple weeks behind bars just for being so stupid.
If the Revolution ever comes, I hope certain corporations are nationalized, corporate executives and Congressmen are brought to justice, and their loot is divided among those of us they've parasitized for so long.
