		<description><![CDATA[There is one serious mistake in this article.  We are not rich.  We are beyond broke.  Financially and socially, the capital is gone.  The reckoning is coming.
And Congress and BHO don&#039;t matter anymore.  The people elected them and have it coming.  

there is terror in our future.  it won&#039;t be from islamists.  it will be from one another in a collapsing society.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ll never forget the fear I experienced when I learned that I had been assigned to Mrs. Hanley&#039;s six-grade class. She was no-nonsense, tough and scary; I was doomed. As you might expect I never performed better or learned more. Whether it was fear or expectation, this slow learner was motivated to perform and learn (or else). I want to thank all of the Mrs. Hanley&#039;s in my life for it was their dedication to real, practical education that is responsible for the success I enjoy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Thornton is dead-on accurate in his assessment of the current culture of feel good mental health treatment, and stress free learning that prioritizes selling kids on a make-believe world without sharp corners. This is called &quot;infantalizing&quot; where you remove life difficulties whenever possible while displacing personal responsibility. In the infantalizing process all emotional maturity and strength-building of character to handle life&#039;s slings and arrows all but stops in the kid. And the kid becomes a malleable and manipulative adult-child sentenced to a lifetime of Oprah, Dr. Phil, and mental health therapy sessions. See also, &quot;hell&quot;. 


As far as &quot;good self-esteem&quot;, I have worked in three of my state&#039;s prisons as a forensic psychologist, and the felons with the highest self-esteem are the lifers especially murderers. They see themselves as both wonderful and powerful as they continue to prey on the weaker prisoners in the population. They&#039;re also academically dumber than soup sandwiches, but that doesn&#039;t matter to them. It&#039;s that they &quot;feel&quot; smart is what counts for them. 


If I were king, potentate, and/or dictator, I would require every politician and every college educator, especially those in the so-called helping professions, to read the book, &quot;Pathological Altruism&quot;. A rigorous exam would follow, and if they exhibit PA in their psychological profile, they&#039;d be fired immediately. This book nails the profile of very sick people that gravitate, uh, make that, &quot;run&quot;, to both rackets. 


Then I would do away with all government regulations and licensing requirements while cutting off all government handouts and halving taxes - at minimum. We&#039;d end up with a nation of adults actually parenting their offspring. After a bumpy start, you all would thank me later.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sylvia, 
 I don&#039;t need anyone defending me but thanks anyway. I&#039;m not sure what Grays problem is. The extent of his arguments with my post are that I&#039;m arrogant and stupid.
It&#039;s just comment posting so mostly worthless.
None of these comments solve the worlds problems and I suspect are posted often by people like me with too much time on their hands.lol
I love what Bruce writes. I just feel that life is maybe a little more complicated than what is suggested by those little bumper sticker slogans. 
Evidently that makes me arrogant.
Maybe that should be a bumper sticker:
&quot;Commenters are arrogant&quot; or something...lol
Warm regards,Bram]]></description>
