The future is indeed scary and I believe it will only be worse than what has been.

Her brother falls in line with his dad. Their argument is that no matter who/what? the Republican Party nominates, it 's better than a Democrat. I feel sorry for both of them. The only world they will know is the one being created now. From my point of view, a nightmare scenario. It's a world devoid of logic or "common sense". Really sad.

I kid you not. I've seen those segments but usually asking people questions about the news or something about out history or government and the ignorance is just astounding. apparently they quit teaching civics and economics in high school. they were required to graduate when I was in school. the whole education system went in the toilet when they decided every kid should be on a college track and got rid of trade schools and apprenticeships and instituted no child left behind (kids learn how to pass the tests but that about all) and pass/fail promotion to the next grade ending up with a lot of kids starting college who couldn't even read. not to mention republican defunding of schools for decades resulting in too few schools and too large classes that no teacher can handle. is it any wonder this country is in the shape it's in. sad really. ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673736213160843245.post-10364412656029251622020-10-01T17:43:20.172-05:002020-10-01T17:43:20.172-05:00The future of our country isn't promising.
