Keep the kiddies stoned and stupid and voting Demagogue.

Have been tutoring a kid (she 11 years old) in basic multiplication and division. Frightening that neither she nor her classmates have mastered the basic times-tables. The establishment opts for high-level skills like analysis and pattern resolution. But the kids are so bogged down in the basics of simple arithmetic that the value of the high-level skills is deprecated to zero. It is an American tragedy.
