Oregon is proud of it's 66% high school graduation rate?

66% huh? Duh, when I was in skool that was a bad grade, but I gradiated with help from the Bored of Edication and the libary! It prolly helped. I went on to kollitch at a Big University, and got me a deegree.

It was a bricks and motor institution by the way, none of these disturbingly easy "correspondence school" (on-line university) paper mills...even my cat has a degree from one of those, and he's rather stupid.

My main pointed question is: Are the graduating 44% learning anything?

Oil prices rising? Ah, ain't that a shame...

OK, OK, OK....folks, what are you gonna do about it? What are you gonna do about it when it gets to $5? $6? Or higher? What then? You, (we) are not going to do a damn thing. It's the price of being sheeple. You drive your car, you pay the price. It's like the sports owners tell us, you wanna play, you gotta pay. Simple economics.

Sure a lot of us cut down on our driving. We ride motorbikes and scooters. We take public trans. The poor among us will have to forgo the Sunday drive in the country. Forget that! The middle class will have to forgo the same Sunday drive. Folks will be spending more time in their neighborhoods, their towns, getting to know each other. A new pastime will emerge...rabid crowds RV tipping. You want to blame someone? Blame the buttheads in the honkin' SUV's, the RV's and the trucks. Other than that- shut up and drive!

It's all about profit, greed, and gee, hate to say it, but we're RUNNING OUT OF OIL. OK? Get it thru our thick heads...

Enjoy!
