Manic Monday
It's time for Lisa's meme again!
What do you feel is the biggest waste of time?
Quite frankly, I believe that the American system of public education is the biggest waste of time that there is. After we teach our children the basics, we continually teach the same useless garbage over and over in different degrees. They learn algebra, but not how to balance a checkbook. They learn biology, but not how fix a meal for themselves or how to sew on a button....
To make matters worse, the education that you need to get a decent job is mostly just as useless, and beyond the free public system, so you get to pay out of your own pocket to learn still more useless crap.
After that, if you're lucky, you might get a good job, but it's more likely you'll end up working at McDonalds
Forgive me. I'm really down on the American education system.
If I knew then what I know now, I ....
Would have got my band together and hit the road. It's better to have tried and failed than to never know. Life offers very few second chances...
How do you feel your life has changed over the past year?
One thing is certain, it hasn't changed for the better.
Once a train wreck, always a train wreck it would seem...
Someone give me a drink!

I think kids need to be taught a few more life skills before moving on to the other stuff.
