Old Guy, I agree with you 100%. I had read an article somewhere that was
titled "The Dumbing-Down of America", and it referred exactly to what you were
saying about the colledges and universities lowering their entrance scores
and requirements just to be able to fill their government mandated quotas
of minority enrollment/acceptance. When I was growing up, if you were lazy
or did something stupid, you were told just that, and not too much worry about
getting your feelings hurt! You picked yourself up, learned from your mistakes,
and went on to do better next time. Now they send the child to a Psychiatrist
or Psychologist to tell them that they should feel good about themselves,
and that stupid is o.k., that's what makes you different and unique!!!
What a LOAD of hogwash! And some people still wonder what is going wrong
with our country!?
