Women's sufferage?  Such a

Women's sufferage?  Such a petty issue, we must get dihydrogen monoxide banned immediately!!

 

Was that Penn and Teller, or someone else?

wow.

 

      The quote "those who do not remember their history are doomed to repeat it." pops into my head,  I can't recall who said it.

 

      I wont blaim the students they are nieve, but where the hell are their history teachers and what are they teaching?

Yah, they did that but it was not original to them.  The first time that I saw it was on a now long gone web site.  However, a quick trip to the wayback machine tells us that that one has clearly been in existence at least by jan 9, 1998.

 

Even so, why stop at ending women's suffrage.  I think that anyone who would sign such a petition would probably get onboard with my idea to just end suffrage in general.

Yeah, I remember seeing before that before BS too, I just can't think of who it was.  I may have to youtube\google it.

The age of mediocrity

Indeed in our age of easy access to information (ie. internet, books, journals, schools, colleges, etc..) we have a younger generation so horribly ill-informed.

In our time, learning subjects such as calculus or geometry are optional. A number of states in the US, dumb down pi to just 3 so it would be easier for students to understand.

And I don't think the fault lies totally among the educators. Teenagers and young adults simply don't give a fuck about anything truly important. They are simply content in knowing who will be Paris Hilton's BFF or whether Bella will end up fucking Edward in the Twilight series.

A person can fail out of high school, get a job at a 711 and lead a full life even if he/she believes the earth is flat. That's the sort of life most young folks aspire to these days. They really don't have to know anything.

Well Rag, I know here in my

Well Rag, I know here in my area of PA we have the option to take three maths in high school, which means that unless you have to be in Special Education classes you have to take at least one Geometry class. But i still understand your point. It really annoys me that i have to be lumped in with many of these ignorant people.

Any time I see the word

Any time I see the word "suffrage" I immediately think of David Bowie's song Suffragette City.
