Sometimes it disturbs me how uneducated people are. This is simple stuff! This is stuff that kids should be learning in first or second grade... what kind of eductional system do we have that people---grown adults!---don't know that snakes are carnivores?

Nah, let's pay the football player five million for a year, and the teacher $28,000. Who cares if the masses are ultimately uneducated? We'll just ply them with sports (the Romans tried it and it worked, why not us?).

Sorry, my venting for the day...
