You are a human disaster. The system that allowed an error like you to be produced must be ripped out and re-built. The day is coming closer and closer...

I can believe it. You're a chameleon.

Fancy schools used to mean a lot. They meant you had read Plato Socrates Shakespeare and knew advanced Mathematics. They meant you had received the inspiration of the greatest thinkers of the past. They gave you the tools to reason and to draw conclusions. Their purpose was not to shape you into good little puppets who pulled the party lever. Their purpose was to fill you with the tools to think. I never once got any political crap from a teacher. Never was a party discussed at any level. My high school education included 4 years of translating Latin and Math with a year of calculus. I translated much of the Illiad by Homer. It included Shakespeare and Chaucer and weekly essays had to be written on the authors. French was mandatory as a second language, and I was not in the advanced class at my school. They had it much harder. My high school degree was 20 times harder than the degree I received 20 years later at an American University led by the new education theories.
