Hard to be a kid in the Us II

More tails of parents and families killing and maiming their children. Seriously, how many kids have to die or suffer before its enough to motivate regular people to do something. Naa..I guess its easier just keep ignoring the fact that "family" is an obsolete concept that doesnt work in modern society. Most of these have pictures of the "parents". Can you guess what they look like?

In response angry parents have organized National Lemonaid Freedom Day, which I guess was August 20th. I'm sure there are all sorts of health code issues regarding producing and selling lemonade on the street corner..but when did Americans become such wimps that we need government to protect us from spending 25 cents on questionable mixes of water and fruit. How about take the salary of government workers who prowl around looking for children to make cry and put it towards a program that lets kids practice mercantile skills.

CNN talking head Anderson Cooper, a graduate of Yale, confirmed what I have always felt - the education part of college is useless, pointless hoop jumping. Here is the interview. Skip to around 11mins in

Was there a class in college I found useful in life ? No actually. Did anybody. I majored in Political Science which is basically majoring in reading the newspaper every day. I didnt learn any actual skill. Adults say college is the best 4 years of your life. If that is the best 4 years of my life just shoot me in the head. 

College, like "family" is one of those archaic fossils that really doesnt work in the 21 century. The lesson here is to skip college and the debt involved and just go do whatever it is you want to do. If you do it well you wont need the diploma.

Travel/Marijuana guru Steves gives away $1 Million

Guess he didnt need a condo

"It's my hope to inspire other caring high-income people to step up and fill those funding gaps with private donations, to support causes that should be borne collectively by a community -- arts centers, parks, schools, libraries, local symphonies, and to speak out on the wisdom of rolling back the tax cuts for our wealthy.". "I see it as a civic duty for businessmen like me, who's directly benefited from our vibrant communities, to do our fair share," Steves said.
