Obviously, the strategy was to talk in such an incoherent manner that the opponents couldn't respond to your statements because they couldn't understand what you said in the first place.

The problem is never with the people who do a thing, but rather with the people who notice it, right Joe?

Ha ha ha. The jokes on you, kids don't read. Have y'all looked at their test scores? Any wonder why our standing in education has gone downhill right after we created the Dept of Education? Dept of Indoctrination is more like it.

That or due to an overdeveloped sense of societal guilt and a competition to see who can hate themselves the most? The PC crowd has always swung to the extreme, but now they are taking it even further.

Me? I grew up with the classics.
Mark Twain- Tom Sawyer
O'Henry - The ransom of Red Chief
Poe- The tell Tale Heart
Just to name a few.
I am in a mixed race marriage with 2 beautiful daughters and a son I adopted.
I guess the classics were a bad influence on me.

Aren't standardized college admission test scores being pulled down because in some school districts every student must take them and the cost is absorbed by the district.
