Schools is place to keep the young off of the streets so that they can only harm each other.

Because we are an educated civilized society we, across the spectrum of class and ideology know that teaching is done by those who wish their summers off and are unfit for anything else and that there is no subject matter taught in schools that cannot be taken up and internalized by the street wise player who is naturally smarter than any educated dolt.

When we wish dumb to be our national obsession and we wish curriculum to feed our social, political, ideological agendas, when we wish to make teaching as unattractive an option as possible to anyone of substance, when we know that calling teaching a profession and treating it as such is just an excuse to steal tax payers money then we are truly in our heaven sent elements and truly working hard to keep education the whore’s game it has become.

Schools is place to keep the young off of the streets so that they can only harm each other.

Poor society. The disintegrating middle and the road warriors of legend.

Whence there was once a strong and vibrant middle class around to reflect upon and infuse society with the banalities of the bourgeoisie and the stabilities of the safe and secure and the passing appreciations for the good things on earth and the worlds that projected and protected them ….

The rosy lens of that once upon a time was set in a different milieu, in a world where a broad swath of all aspired to be thinkers and tinkers and aspired to take a critical look at the passing parade. The paradigm shift had not yet occurred. The battles and jungles that serve as the fine and mellow templates of societal norms had not yet been firmly established. Might had not yet made right. Dominance had not yet broken through as the word of the heart.

Poor society. The disintegrating middle and the road warriors of legend. All hail.

It is far easier to break the backs of those we own rather than try to do so to those who own us.

It is far easier to break the backs of those we own rather than try to do so to those who own us.

The poor and the dispossessed have no powerful constituency and therefor can be easily vilified and labelled as cheats and pikers, welfare abusers, scum who steal money from the public trough.

The wealthy, the gods, the connected own constituencies and can then steal and plunder without push back from all guardians of public morals. Might makes right and might corrals the standard bearers of public decency.

The poor and the dispossessed can make sublime canon fodder for those who make the conflicts, the weapons, the games, but they are there to be used as a resource ….. too many stop being poor and dispossessed, start having a stake in society and good canon fodder gets harder to find.

It is far easier to break the backs of those we own rather than try to do so to those who own us.

Lower standards for acceptable ideas, ideals, principles, minds of value surface … the dumbing down of admired behavior rises.

Lower standards for acceptable ideas, ideals, principles, minds of value surface … the dumbing down of admired behavior rises.

The world gets smaller. Globalization gets stronger. Communications get quicker. Interactions get more open, less filtered. Mean levels of active, interactive populations decrease their levels of sophistication, awareness, shading, critical abilities effecting global, national norms, acceptable thought. Samples affecting global discourse are larger and larger, less evolved, less intellectually curious, aware, questioning, doubting. Lower standards for acceptable ideas, ideals, principles, minds of value surface … the dumbing down of admired behavior rises.

Passions, need, want, revenge, autocracy have greater, unchallenged intellectual worth. From the bottom floats up mores, ideas that attract. Values of what was once deemed to be the essences of civilization can no longer be supported. Based upon the premises that they are those of an enlightened mind, and enlightened population ….. these premise are in doubt.

New parameters have new standards. Vast ideas of moral, cultural equivalence come without questioning standards. The mights of guided passions make may rights. The embraces of those seemingly disenfranchised or less powerful allow for less questioning. Standards move over time. Some directions are ominous.

Resource, will, interest desire are engines for action. Vibrant public spheres is what we got.

All good capitalists know that a society puts its resources into areas it values, areas that provide efficiency and worth. Since we, here at home, value the checks and balances of politics and power it follows that our time, treasure, attention and energy be allocated some in that direction. And it is. The hammering of partisan virtue and candidates for sale show that the wars of money and effort are there to balance the public trust. Resource is efficiently allocated and the government is a good power broker and all benefit from the process.

Watchdogs and kind, media, press, interested parties and such are in an era of access to funds, abilities, cooperation and interest so that they can serve well their function as fourth and/ or fifth branches of government. They provide bang for the buck opening up the lines of power that push and pull at the all of everyday life.

Resource, will, interest desire are engines for action. Vibrant public spheres is what we got. None rancid.

The rise to rule may go ….. Synthesis works in the lands of the healthy

The rise to rule may go ….. Synthesis works in the lands of the healthy

Once again. All political systems, dream political systems, mock political systems, scam systems delve into the prospective, possible, proposed balance of rights, obligations, powers between and among the individual, the society. Rights, powers, times of same supersede or not those of the other.

The rise to power may with the individual be unchecked. The rise to rule may go towards the homogenous whole defining standards, behaviors, mores, allocations of resource. Totalitarianism may crush from either direction.

The fight is always joined by those who flock to the seek the wings of the spectrum. Loyalties, hopes, hatreds ride with the aims of those who see power, unbridled through the filters of their orientations.

For ever and always we have irresistible forces, immovable objects. Synthesis works in the lands of the healthy. In the lands not so conflict is enjoined.

Chump cheese. The nutrients there are for bottom feeders

Chump cheese. The nutrients there are for bottom feeders

Over time dying newspapers and other publication go on doing that which they do but slowly and surely ability erodes, depth and passion dissipates, the framework stands as a carnival mirror image of what once was and the soul gets dried up, withered and rancid. Just emptiness and waste are all that is left.

There becomes no energy for sustenance, no money for sustenance, no will to sustenance. The soul of things is the first to go. The meat, the depth, interest, the blood, the guts.

The public sphere, in the here and now, shows to be our dying husk of of a once vital tower of use and interest.

The framework still stands. The stuff inside is drawn and dried and shriveled and voided.

Chump cheese. The nutrients there are for bottom feeders.

As in yesterday, today.

As in yesterday, today.

It may be said that once, in the castle on the hill, our America, aspiring politicos and such wished to be just and good and competent folk, true of heart, of standing, sincere in virtue, learned in form and aspiring to bring along and educate a public who was able to respect said the virtues of a good and learned savant.

It may be said that once, in the castle on the hill, our America, aspiring politicos and such wished to be of a stronger stripe than most, of a more sensible stripe than most, of a more mannered and grounded stripe than most. Their rewards were in the exercise of the public trust of governance, the acute and measured use of authority, the wisdom of the ages and the management of the hammers of might and righteousness for the better good. The calling was a firm and stirring song.

It may be said that once, in the castle on the hill, our America, aspiring politicos and such wished to be the ones who set the ships of state and municipality and such in directions necessary and smart, prescient and with use of critical facilities that were honed for the exercise of best of men’s natures and honed with sharp eye to ferret out the worst.

As in yesterday, today.

You can’t teach dumb

You can’t teach dumb

We are worried completely and dramatically and faithfully here and all about … here and all about the state of our knowledge, our educational prowess, the mass ability of our gentry and folk to become bodies with functioning minds and minds with moving parts.

A real and noble ideal worthy of the best of our natures and the better angels of our natures. We wish smart folk and sensible folk and worthy folk to inhabit our space and time and make life a treasure for us all.

But, sadly, however, tragically, however … try as we might … work as we will …. strain as we must … some things are just beyond the pale. We strive to emulate the best of all of us in public and private life … in the worlds of power and thought, opinion and choice. Tis a sad, hard task. These are folk gifted from above. They of the natural order of things are. That which they have is unattainable.

You can’t teach dumb.
