Random Thoughts

OK, why does the Wendy's in Holly have the best Double Stacks? Other Wendy's are good, but the ones in Holly are better, really. I've tried Onion Lake, Walled Lake, Milford, Westland, Garden City, Wixom, Brighton, and even out of state, but Holly takes the cake. Hmmm....

Education will never improve until it does, at least, two things. First, in order to make things better, the right questions must be asked. Second, the right people must be asked for answers. I see all the so-called "reform" movements have the same old people involved, including the Secs of Education. They were the ones who were in on the things that fouled things up in the first place. Why ask those who messed things for more lousy ideas? Of course, a letter to the editor in the newspaper explains all; it must have been written by an education-type. It's a waste of time and energy, she wrote, to look backward at what went wrong, who caused things to go wrong, etc. Far better, she continued, to move forward. We shouldn't point fingers. How wrong, wrong, wrong!!!! Those who caused the problems in education need to be identified for several reasons. They have to be held accountable. And, it must be made certain that these people are not allowed to make any decisions in the future. I suppose this attitude is a version of the "Everybody Wins!" philosophy now in the schools. Again, the wrong questions are being asked of the wrong people. No meaningful reforms will come until we figure this out.

Did I hear it right this AM that some environmentalists, to save Mother Earth, are advocating people killing themselves off, as much as 90% of the population? There was a video on the Internet with one of these nut jobs, if true. Apparently, the guy has won a lot of science awards. Is he really pushing for genocide to "save" the environment? If so, I wonder if he puts himself in the 90% or the 10%? Nah, there's no wonder. He's another one of those self-anointed elites.

Out to grade papers.
