to me, and if i understood the king right he feels the same way, that is the problem. the discontinuity of this argument, and the all-encompassing aspect you try to acheive, leave me feeling confused and unimpacted. For pussification you say people expecting everythign to be handed to them, and i agree, but your main example is the overwhelming increase in college degrees? that proves just the opposite. so what exactly are u trying to say is the problem with everyone going to college then? an over dependence on, and an over estimation of the need for education? what?!? you say taht not everyone needs a college degree, society still needs it street cleaners and garbage men. this is very true, but we still have them, only now, they have college degrees. what is effectively happening is that the bar for society is being raised, and even the lowest common denominator is going higher. This creates a more intelligent, efficient society.

now enough of me bashing your evidence, if i interpreted your original direction right, i agree with it, but id rather cite something else. the war. or more specifically, the parents mad that their kids were sent. first off, im a democrat, and do not completely agree with the war. but that doesnt matter. your kid signed up for the army or the military reserves knowing damn well his responsibilites. in this country you are, or were, expected to keep your word, and not be bitter about it. we dont need to teach our kids that they dont need to make good with their promises.

i hope that made sense....oh the irony, i skipped through so many posts this long, but expect people to read mine
