Think of it this way: I can simply have a few LOOSE screws, or I could quickly LOSE my mind!
I am not, nor have I ever been one that was best at grammar. I also suck at spelling (thank you Firefox!). To me, if you are able to read the post, and get the fucking gist of my point, then get off your fucking high horse, and enjoy the dammed post.

Additionally, I didn't say the teachers didn't care, or didn't teach. I said they were hampered by the system they are cogs of.

As far as mattering who is in the oval office. I say it does matter who is there. For the person who is in office is a representation of America when they visit other countries. Can you imagine what the leader of Liberia thinks when this yokel of a leader we currently have opens his dammed mouth?

I do agree that a good portion of those Senators and Congressmen in office should be kicked to the curb, but then there is the problem of experience that so many people look for when evaluating their choice for a presidential candidate.

Another problem I didn't bring up, because it didn't pertain to the thread, but is a political problem. Religion in many parts of the country is very tightly tied to the running platform of those seeking office. As is the case in the southern (Red) states. This interwoven way of thinking, I believe, presents hurdles for real directional change.
