No excuses! I was born in '82 and I figured out that socialist promises are too good to be true 20 years ago!
I remember in the fifth grade, my class had a Substitute Teacher who threw away our lesson plan to teach us about Communism and Karl Marx. After five minutes, we all thought it sounded like a great idea. After about an hour, we all figured out that the whole thing was stupid, and it would never work. By the end of the day, the Sub was yelling at us so loud, the teacher came in from across the hall to ask if everything was OK.
The next day, we had a new substitute teacher.
Yeah, but remember: half the population has an IQ below 100.
