One of the expressions people use that drives me crazy is when people say, "I'm gonna try 110%" or "This is 130% the real deal." Maybe you do, too. But, 100% is 100%! There
is no more. I have to say that I agree with that.
But I also want to say that I am 150% glad I was born when I was. The only problem is that later generations were born into the middle of this morass, so they simply have no clue as to how it
was, how it
could be, and, dare I say it, how it
SHOULD be. In fact, they will even argue the point with me, about how wrong I am - even tho they have never experienced the times I/we talk about and have no clue how it was.
50 Years ago, the high school I graduated from was one of the top ones in the city. Today it is near the bottom. And you know what? NONE of the schools are above the standards of 1960. Read Julie's latest post... The principle of the school she works with chastises
her because she questions why there are no sports awards. The stupid SOB even asks her to NOT attend the school awards ceremony (what the hell awards are they giving?) until the kids stand up and say "If Julie doesn't go,
WE don't go." Isn't it just pathetic when the children being taught know more than the people teaching them?
Sorry, Mike, you got me started, lol
