No one should be buried alone.  Air Force veteran,  Sergeant Robert Wunderlich,  would suffer  that fate since his few remaining family members could not get there in time.  So over 100 member of the community came out in freezing weather to pay respects to a total stranger   Thank you,  and well done indeed,  St. Louis.

American ignoramuses…

leave a comment »

Americans  know little  about their government,  thanks in large part to our pathetic public education system.  I knew all this by the fourth grade,  but now schools are apparently too busy teaching kids that they’re going to be crispy fried by global warming to be bothered with helping make productive citizens out of them.

The result is yet another generation of  ignorant louts who know all about the celebrities of the day,  but absolutely nothing useful in real life.   The most frightening thing is that we seem to revel in our lack of awareness.   This suits our ruling class just fine.   Low-information people are easily led,  and even more easily lied to.   They don’t enjoy the hard work of thinking,  so they are generally happy to believe that which requires the least consideration,  especially if it is accompanied by freebies.   These are the people who elected His Oneness.   These are the people who keep electing politicians who rip the rest of us to buy their votes.

Well,  guess what  —  the rest of us have just about run out of money,  because we can’t afford the expensive lawyers and accountants that Obama and his cronies use to escape the consequences of the  policies they support.
