Pure Madness???

I read with great sadness.... the news that our great MM now regrets having made a policy to force us, the children of the late 60's and 70's to learn a second language. It is ok to learn a second language but to be penalized for not being good at it???? How many of us had to run to overseas uni's because we were just not proficient enough in our second language to go to the next level?? How much did our parents sacrifice to enable us to go overseas? At that time there were also only 2 uni's in Sillypore, how many of us could get in? Night time and part time courses in Uni and other schools to enable us to get our degrees were also non existent... And to top it all off, what is this bloody obsession over degrees in the first place anyway??? Have a cert and you are smart??? Ooohhhhh... that is the biggest mistake one can make in life man... And he who assumes that because he has 7 "A" and is a superior being is an idiot!@!!!

But not knocking anyone or anything now... So now how??? Brown cow?? Will the gahmen pays our poor parents back for the money they spent on the lost generation? We are the lost generation for sure... Neither here nor there.... All results of social and educational experiments that in hindsight were wrong. 2 is enough is also another big gripe I have... now we do not have enough and have to import foreign talents. Our reliance on foreigners of all colours and races is amazing!!!

I was walking down the bottom of my block and I met PRC and Philippino.... Our heartland is not our heartland any more. I am not saying that it is wrong.... but hey... what about us who went through hell and back... in the educational system, in the army and now in society??? What do we get? But then like I have always said, I have no need or any want to ask for anything from anyone or anything.... I will survive on my own and earn my own keep.... I do not want to be called... "poor thing"
