Americans for Prosperity and other junk

I fore warned all that do not like to read/talk about politics, divert your eyes now.
Ok so after reading this article stuped yahoo news I think the American population is much more uneducated then I had first thought. This stimulus plan that is being voted on is under fire by just about every, but lets first look at what they want. They want less tax and more money in their pockets. I can see this hell who would not like that, but here is the problem with this. You have money and you go and by shit to help the economy, but all that money you just spent goes over seas. The United States no longer makes things which also means we do not employ people. So all that money people wanted was a waist, as you all remember Bush did this and it did nothing. For most of us Americans we paid are bills up instead, of buying that flat screen TV. Not I am not saying I know this entire bill that is going throw or trying to, but what I do know is this bill help here and now along with down the road.
We must wake up and see in this global economy we are no match for other country’s. Are education system sucks, roads and bridges are falling apart, we rely on every other country for are oil, and gas. In a global economy we rate at the bottom for everything. If we are to succeed as a country we must step up and become a power ones again.
The problem is media; it has kept the population of the country in the dark on how bad it is. It is very sad when a study done around the world with college and high school filling in a world map shows that most of Americans cannot label a global map. We rated at the almost at the bottom, only being beaten out by third world country’s that have no real formal schooling.
Now you tell me is this a exceptionable education? In just the united states it may have been twenty or thirty years ago, but in this global economy I do not think its going to make it.

Ok moving right along after my rant. Things are going well with school for the most part. We are now on math that makes sense to me. My English and writing lab still suck, in writing lab I have still failed to receive anything but zero’s. In English the lessons are more difficult to find and understand were to turn papers in then doing the papers them self. Government class I would say is going well, as you may have guessed by the above statement. Part of the grade is discussion and well I am all for the soup box to stand up on. Computer class is nothing but a lot of useless work as far as I can tell, which I am maintain a top marks in. it all seems to be a whole lot of work with very little time to do it in.
I also talked with the “special ed lady” and had her look over my paper work from when I was tested and was told that they no longer call dyslexia a handy cap, which I laughed at being what they had it labeled as.
Weather is warming up a little which is nice, but it is due to cool down and start snowing again. With the warmer weather I did take the dogs for a walk, first of the year. With the lack of time, and motivation it is hard finding any time to post so I will post when I feel inspired to do so. With at the most three readers I don’t have much to lose if there are no posts.
