Indeed lol. That's the thing; I believe in the process. I know
   we're not a representative democracy. I know we're an oligarchy.
   But there's *still* enough elements of representative democracy
   available to us for stuff like that. I mean, heck, they passed
   gay marriage; I didn't even *know* people were working on it,
   but then again, I don't follow the news unless someone tells me
   (in person or I see it online from someone's post). But it's an
   example of what's possible to accomplish.

   I suppose I'm no better though. I've had so many rants about
   Education yet that's all I do too. Rant. Maybe I should do what
   that lady did with her book on Grit that inspired the teachers
   and led to coursework changes designed to make things more
   difficult and confusing [it's supposed to break people who
   believe they are innately good at math or english or ...
   anything.. and slow their progress so they keep down with the
   rest of the class. The whole thing seems military to me,
   honestly, but whatever. School will suck no matter what they
   did, do, or will do.

   Maybe I should take a page out of my own book here. It *is*
   something I _could_ get political about...[educational
   psychology] I just hate joining groups.
