The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Lack of pride in and knowledge of American history"

"While condom cucumber class is great....a lack of appreciation of, and accepting of the responsibilities of freedom and civics....."

The Leader used to say it.

Sheeple: BAAAAAAAAAAAA which is good, for this is *part* of the punishment arsenal and i've only just started :) Anyhow....

realclearpolitics.com - A nation forgetting itself cost of civic illiteracy

"A Nation Forgetting Itself: The Cost of Civic Illiteracy"
ctions have consequences. A lack of consequences is an action that also has consequences.

"America is in the throes of an epidemic of civic illiteracy that can be traced to a half-century of not teaching the principles, history, and documents of her founding. In our most prestigious universities down to primary school classrooms, the teaching of our pre-partisan founding principles and history has been downgraded and corrupted, leading to at least two generations of Americans without the knowledge to be participants in self-government or the resolve to defend our republic."

Good. Good. More Good.

Sheeple. You can't do anything about it. 1/6 - was nothing. Well ok, it was a Presidential Re-election kickoff that worked - in your country.

Haha baaaaaaaaa smug
