OK EVERYBODY gets trophies in Little league and other children's sports.  NO ONE  keeps score anymore, there are no losers... There is no black and white, no failure and loss, ONLY TRYING and celebration of whatever effort you choose to put out on any given day ~

 

Now a school district wants to abolish "F's" or failing grades ~ allowing students to get an "I" (incomplete or second and third chances to take tests and do homework.  I guess that's fair, failing teachers have been getting passes for years now!

 

   OK, If I ever get a DUI, I want continual "Do-Overs" till I pass the test and get to go home. 

 

     This country, our heritage, culture and future are going to hell in a hand basket with all this PC, mamby pamby, socially correct BS and equality by rule crap!  If you believe there are no winners, no victors or champions ~ get in line BEHIND the aforementioned and shut up. 

As I stood in the center of the Roman Forum, and watched the sunrise upon what was for centuries  the center of Roman public life: the site of elections, venue for public speeches and nucleus of commercial affairs, the centerpiece of the greatest civilization ever~   It occurred to me,  this represents greatest culture and civilization ever.  I wonder what DC will look like, and more importantly ....when?  We have just about lost every part of what made us great.  How long until we are nothing more than a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archeological excavations attracting sightseers?

 

                   Or maybe, I just got up on the wrong side of the bed today?
