This is what is wrong with people today.  Especially Americans.

Fist of all, I am American . . . not very proud of it though.  This earth is for all of us.  Second, there will be many grammer, spelling mistakes in this blog because I am not afraid to write how I talk in front of friends.  Nobody speaks perfect grammatical English.  I do not refine how I talk, who I am, or how I write a blog.  Of course I can teach different tenses to students, but can you teach them how to converse in a bar with drunk Americans?

I am two classes away from a B.S. in chemical engineering.  This has plagued everything in my life since 1998.  A mistake to drop out?  Yes.  A regret? not at all.

We have to love everybody.  Scientist and Priest, college grad and non-college grad.  Just like the p[oor hate the rich, the high school grads hate the college grads.  College is an experience that I'll never forget.  I learned more outside of class than I did inside of it.  You must realise that the college grads and the rich do have knowledge (no survival skills maybe - but knowledge, yes).

And you rich and college grads that see the poor and the high school grads as lesser beings, remember that you money and your degrees are nothing but pieces of paper with a signature on them.

When quantum physics and spirituality meet, when science and religion meet, when rich and poor can be friends, and when all you guys start finding out the streghts of each other, this is when we can start to change the world.

If that doesn't work, then I propose two other options.

1. Get rid of money.  We tell our children their whole lives that life isn't fair.  Then we have currency which tries to make it fair.  Stop selling your skills and offer them.

2.  Look at how the Mexicans live.  12 people in a 3 bedroom house.  Now that's family values.  If you don't want them crossing the border anymore, then get rid of the border . . . isn't it an imaginary line anyway?

Don't play leapfrog with unicorns
