What I find very sad today is that people don't seem to be able to enjoy silence, quite time. There has to be some noice coming from somewhere, all the time! It is like people can not tolerate their own thoughts coming in even for a minute.
I remember at work a bunch of us had a nice conversation going. Then..........a lull....no one talking for a few seconds. Immidiatly someone said; "Hey what happened to the radio?

I forgot how some kids had to redo a class. Yep they reall did! So far as I know their psyche survided.
What I like to know is when a kid gets his high school diploma but does not even know what a surname is, yeah met them and they now vote, how will they make it in the working world? Because it is then their self-esteem really gets it as they are now shown they know little.
