He spoke of college students and college graduates who have reached out to him to ask for help. They are frustrated with their inability to communicate effectively with colleagues and customers - most white collar jobs require a great deal of email and if you can't put together a sentence that makes sense or think critically about a difficult issue, you can't do your job well. It made me sad that we've basically just given ourselves a head of the Dept. of Education that lacks the kind of literacy it takes to do such a challenging job, and that we continue to raise generation after generation of citizens who cannot have articulate conversations, exchange ideas without asserting opinions or descending in to name-calling. If we continue down this path, our country will certainly soon be the least effective on the planet. kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-21811113673682668952017-02-12T12:24:58.878-08:002017-02-12T12:24:58.878-08:00And I'm listening to the f*****g Pixies! :-) Y...And I'm listening to the f*****g Pixies! :-) You articulate our collective angst so well.<br /><br />Ah, where is my mind?<br /><br />#resist<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-76367443995910071642017-02-10T14:28:44.482-08:002017-02-10T14:28:44.482-08:00Yes.

He is an angry, fearful man who is terrified of looking in the mirror. It scares me that this narcissist and the Russian narcissist have so much power and so little value for life. Trump brings out the worst in others. <br /><br />I look at Mahatma Ghandi and the Dalai Lama and Pope Francis and I see people who bring out the best in people, who believe we can be better than our worst bits. And they walk, or walked in Ghandi's case, the walk. And I feel sick to my stomach.

This shit is not acceptable. We have a lunatic for president thought that might be an over estimation of his intellect. I ain't seen the like of this before, as my dad might have said, if he lived to be 123. <br />I have one girl who in her middle age wisdom says let's work in the system and bring him to his knees, another in her very late twenties who says let's burn the motherfucker down. At age 71, I find myself in her camp. <br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038376492887695725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-18434970247213207962017-02-09T16:10:21.477-08:002017-02-09T16:10:21.477-08:00I hope Rob joins you in the water later.
