Me thinks that "Brave New World" may be right around the corner... The problem with that scenerio is that the dumbed down vote... This is the perfect strom for disaster and I think wwe are seeibn' just how that will work out...

But the biggest problem with this is it doesn't have to be this way... Used to be that folks strove to become educated... Education was *valued*... Now we have politicans who joke about "pinhead elitists"... Unless that culture is changed, and changed rather quickly, then Huxley's world will come to pass in an even greater way than what we are seeing now... That is rather scarey because dumbed down people are too dumbed down to even know how to bahave in a civilized manner... We see that now... Redneck Nation is allready there... Gang Nation is allready there...

Yeah, folks say "Well, that can never happen here in America" but to those folks I say, "Open yer danged eyes, folks, 'cause we are at the doorstep... Funds are being cut for education everywhere you look... Here in Virginia the newly elected Governor has proposed a budget that is going to make deep cuts in K-thru-12... I saw a map the other night on the news that highlighted all the states that are cutting their education budgets and it was almost the entire nation...

But not to fear... We will still have football, NASCAR and Budweiser to fill in the voids...

Yeah, me thinks the door is open for a "brave new world"...
