Teaching Common Sense


What the heck is the use of a few people writing balanced and sensible blurbs when the bulk of the nation is incapable of thinking seriously about anything but the Kardashians, Paris Hilton, Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan, the Yankees, and porn?  
     It seems that we’ve lost our sense of industry, lost our sense of pride, and lost our inherent conviction that we are a great society!  That is why Finance and Big Industry take advantage and rob the public, why public services scam you of your tax dollars (and then you have to go out and fund-raise additional money for civic improvement), why the wealthiest don’t pay back to society or pay taxes, and why politicians are unerringly relied upon to make the same mistakes over and over again.  If only people studied WHY things happen--as well as History--to learn from the hideous experiences of defeated souls.
     Instead, what do kids learn?  Battle dates.  It seems like such a waste of mental energy.  Instead, they should learn important subjects like "Common Sense", "How the Mind Works", "How to Handle Finances", "How to be a Mentor/Parent", "Accountability", "How to Create Good Relationships", "How to Create & Maintain Self-Esteem and Self-Worth".  Can you imagine what a whole generation of adults would be like if they were taught those subjects?
