Your experience and mine in contracting with hiring young people may go to their 'drive' rather than education. The one thing I found most annoying was their inability to follow directions. Not being able to follow directions on a ballot somehow didn't surprise me.

This is pure democrat policy. These people turn out in mass to keep in power the powers that keep their children in economic bondage. Does anyone wonder why I call supporters of Sore and Loserman scum or just plain stupid. ToM Watson tosiwmee Sore unfit Investors Business Daily watman.com Sore unfit Investors Business Daily

I work in a small machine shop in Southern CA. Over the years we have hired a half dozen young high school graduates. All were totally ignorant in simple math. Several were unable to do math WITH A CALCULATOR. Most were unable to read beyond comic book level and a couple were functionally illiterate. A friend has his daughter in a local elementary school. She is the only kid in a class of 35 who speaks English. The education system in SOCAL is near collapse. I have worked with the same, on the east coast. The school system is in pathetic shape. I keep saying, the democrat agenda is: 1. Keep them dumb 2. Keep them down 3. Keep a vote In most communist countries, they secure power by keeping the people dumb and down. When many countries were over thrown by communism, the educated people were targeted. Teachers, professors, books were destroyed, etc... everything that could educate the people to see through the lies and propaganda. The same thing applies to the USA. So many are stupid to the point they can't see through the lies and propaganda. The Soviet Union didn't keep their people in the dark for nothing. For the people to see the outside world, as it was, would have exposed the lies of their leaders. A good education is the enemy of the democrat party. A quality school system is the death of the democrat party.

She is the only kid in a class of 35 who speaks English. The education system in SOCAL is near collapse. And yet there isn't one liberal here who will stand up and take the heat for this. They will all scream it is about lack of funding or racism or sexism or Californiaism but never admit that they don't deserve one more moment in control of these people lives. What they have done to a generation of children is a national disgrace. But the sad thing is "AL GORE SAYS YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET"
