Immaturity in DC

I have witnessed the infection called "me, me, me" having it's way through the US and the Industrial world. It started with parents saying things like, "I don't want my kids struggling like I did," and then giving in to the children's every sad outcry. Giving credence to these children for many years has created a horrible affliction for an increasing number of countries. The United States of America is the sickest of countries with this horrible social illness. Struggle is seen as something bad even though it is a real life ingredient for all. Be careful what you wish for.


This desease started about 30 years ago. I am 61 years old and have watched sadly as the majority of adults has become more and more immature. For instance there is the cinema. The young (10-40) have increasingly become more self absorbed. 'They text, talk out loud, bring crying babies to the movie while ignoring others and doing these things to the distress of all who want and paid to see the movie. I believe the mutation of NCLB is "Let's use my idea" it is as good as yours. causing accelleration of this sickness. The disease is a program called "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND"! This means that anyone can interfere with anyone in their attempt to excel, or get ahead (as in being the one who can hear or see the movie at the cinema). The young who should be kicked out of the cinema are the same young who were told in class "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND".

The laws of Physics teach that one material may have more or less mass and different
properties. Results of the disease are the masses being pulled down to the bottom and nothing rising to the top. The excellent don't dare. No Child Left Behind causes the less gifted to be the focus of all our money, time and energies at the loss of the more gifted. It assumes that we are making washers with the same material and all can fall within a small tolerance of difference at the end of the production line. Ignorance is not only sad but calls for huge tolerance of the absurd.


First and foremost with humans we don't start out with the same material. We are all as different as our fingerprints. Simpleton's can only be the people who would even entertain thoughts like these. What a sad day for those of us who excel. That might be why the rich don't think simpletons deserve their tax money.



Congress is a group of adults by majority now who have been educated and inundated with these lame ideas. Why wouldn't you expect them to be tied up tightly in their own ideas and not in the ideas of those they represent. "Me" is as good as all of the rest of you, so get out of my way and what I think is as good as what anyone else thinks. What I believe is good for all of you whether or not you know it. After all, aren't we all the same? Aren't we all deserving of the same thing?
Some think that only those who excel deserve all. They are wrong also and this idea is just as absurd. Let's all stay in a horizontal line and keep it that way. Forget that we all have individual struggles and our struggles differ based upon where our genius is and where our individual retardations are.



Politicians don't have to be considerate of their fellow man. "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" means no child or person gets ahead and no one can lead. We don't have leadership in this country and "we the people" don't know why?
