California. Once the fifth wealthiest state in the world. A land of beautiful mountains, surfing, the Motion Picture Industry, once the state with the most technological companies until they taxed them to death and moved, the land of fake boobs, fake people, nest-bed of socialism (McCarthy was right), abusive regulations, high taxation, and growing totalitarian state.

High School: Preparation For Higher Learning?

My memories of high school is not as special as my days attending the university, not necessarily academically, but socially and personally. Sadly, today's academic standards are less than what was demanded in my high school days; except when it comes to language where Spanish (no choice of other language like French/German or whatever) is required. Latin is relegated to the university and college students; entirely depending upon what they choose for their major.

Education in America: As Bankrupt As The Economy

The Department of Education and National Education Association coupled with the myriad of other government organizations, agencies and bureaucratic offices seem to pat themselves on the back and saying what a great education system we have - but it is not true.
When it is pointed out how much our educational system is failing, those that operate our federal government think it just requires more funding or making up a program like No Child Left Behind, et cetera, which does nothing to fix the problem but makes the political prostitutes and incompetents in the education system, especially administration, "feel good".
