It would consist of fitting the appropriate block into the corresponding hole, so that square blocks went into square holes, etc. Those residents who could successfully fit all the blocks into the correct holes were invited to move out. The rest had to stay in california. Personally I think everyone in California should be given a test.

It's depressing, though, I warn you. Back in the 1950s, there was a study of the use of amphetamines in pilots. The pilots were convinced the use of amphetamines made them more alert and improved their performance. The problem was that objective measurement showed they had not improved their performance and, in fact, it was worse. That has now occurred with the psychology of self esteem. College age kids think they are smarter and better informed than they are. The results are now showing up in such areas as financial derivatives and investment bankers. They are far over the line in risk-seeking behavior.

And no I'm not a fan of what this guy did. The reality is this stuff happens every day in academia, and not just at UCSB. That said, get your kids educated and make sure they major in a discipline that has some economic value. If it has "studies" in the name, then that's a "no go" sign, eh? There are plenty of fine scholars and students at UCSB and I know quite a number of them even now, including about a dozen Iraq War vets who I take to my gun club on weekends for R&R.

Also, Gin Parties are not the answer, you have to eventually get up, become horrified again, and repeat the cycle. Teabagging is for the White House/MSNBC/CNN crowd and simply not our thing (not that I'm sayin' they shouldn't have their rights), thus Tea Partying and doing what you're doing, slogging through the mud, is most likely to get us out of the swamp to the promised land. As far as ol' Robinson is cocerned, we Irish Catholics have our Robinsons too, but we call them traitors and consider them an embarrasment to their families and community. Have you considered the Amish way, shunning? Yes, what Ell said. Also, Gin Parties are not the answer, you have to eventually get up, become horrified again, and repeat the cycle.

The Greatest Generation, who didn't want their kids to suffer, who wanted to give them everything. So then I guess it's their fault. Sheesh. Nothing more unproductive than the blame game. Do you really want to write off an entire generation as idiots? And where will the next generation come from? We might as well all just give up if it's as hopeless as that. Don't you think we owe it to OUR kids to figure out a way to move forward and reach these people? Okay, Glenn, if you want to look at it that way, who created the Boomers?
