51/50 Means We Have No Clue

4. You are too kind!

I recently watched Michael Moore's film Where to Invade Next. I realized while watching that a lot of the education methods, which other countries "stole" from us, were the ones provided to me when I was a child growing up, way back when, in the "dead-end" Sixties. A lot of innovative educational doors were opened, and then just as abruptly closed, back then.

The "squares" wrested back control from the "hippies", who had begun to see education as a means of mass liberation, instead of mills for marketable skills. "One word: plastics". Sorry, Dustin. It was a nice dream anyway...

We could have chosen the Age of Aquarius. Instead, we chose Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
