If you're right, we're doomed, just a bunch of standardless patsies.

I've been reading Freakonomics. According to the book, cheating is rampant. I was just reading about how teachers cheat when they administer NCLB tests. And sumo wrestlers throw fights.

But I thought we still had a sufficient set of standards to not just roll over and accept cheating, to lose our sense of outrage over it.

As long as we still have enough of a sense of fair play to maintain queues, I shall retain hope. <g>
