Subject: RE: BS: How to destroy America
My recipe.

1. Fail to discourage teenagers especially, but any single women from having children out of wedlock.

2. Teach only academic subjects in high school, with a sink or swim attitude. Do not under any circumstances teach classes that would actually teach them work skills and get them jobs.

3. Encourage teenagers to really express themselves, in as public a manner and as foul a language as they want.

4. Build crummy buildings and strip malls on your best agricultural lands.

5. Discharge sewage into your drinking water.

6. Build out of very flimsy materials in the path of floods, hurricanes, fires etc. When something happens, rebuild with the same materials.

7. Subsidize "art" that is obscene and profane simultaneously if possible.

8. Pay farmers to grow tobacco and too much corn.

9. Overprescribe medication to too many people and spend no more than 15 minutes with any one patient.

10. Expect that teens will make good choices if merely exposed to them.

11. well, more later. mg
