<<Show me a smart student and I'll show you a success story.>> The smartest kid in my graduating class in HS is a total failure. He would have gotten the scholarship for being the best freshman student at Illinois State, except he was smarter than the teachers and quit while the scholarship was being mailed. He got many good jobs and quit because he was smarter than the boss. Started two businesses, got them going very well and ran them into the ground. Bankrupt twice and living on charity now.

Success in school does not translate into success in life or happiness. I wish it did it would make life simpler. Your idea of success is the government holding your hand from the womb to the tomb. Fortunately for both of us that is so anti-American it just won't work. Gore has more empathy with a squirrel in Yellowstone than he does for a kid that does not have a desk (he lied about that) or an old lady that collects bottles. That old lady had a wealthy son that would have taken care of her. However, she wants you and me to take of her via the government mint printing press. Charity and education begin at home.
