A Nation of Stupid.

I know that this is a dream forum but I feel I have to post this. This was not a dream this happened to me at the mall when I went to the movies.
I seem to see more and more kids who are for lack of a better word stupid. Now before you black list me for this please let me continue. We have a nation of children who can't read, don't know that France is a country, and that The World Trade center really existed. Now I am speaking of High School freshmen, not kindergarten students. I was at the movies the other day and three kids were looking at a poster for the new Oliver Stone film staring Nicholas Cage.

One kid asks the others "What are the two dark things?"

I could not believe what I was hearing, their conversation continued. Another kid said this is just a movie, like collateral Damage, a what if kind of story. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I ask the kids what they were doing on 9/11/2001. These kids were like 11 and 12 when it happened, and they did not even know that The World Trade Center were two buildings that collapsed. I know that most of us don't want to dwell on this disaster but when High school students are not even aware of an attack that happened in their life time, one needs to question just what the hell are they teaching our kids in school.


We are raising a nation of stupid people.

The Apocalyptic Future

Is it normal to have Post apocalyptic dreams?

I have had this dream going on a week now where the nation has faced a catastrophe and we are dealing with the aftermath. Basically a severe summer and then an even worse winter with -200 degree wind chill artic blasts through most of the country. (please see map) Now I don't mean to say the snow gets deep, its just that after a real hot, dreadfully hot summer, the winter was even worse. The elderly were dyeing in high numbers, we were having severe power outages all over not to mention a nation wide Icestorm hits the nation. I have been through one icestorm in my life but not like the one in my dream. The one I experienced was a drizzle compared to the one in my dream.


It was pretty frightening.

Sleep well.
