...declining economic prospects of high school dropouts...a perfect capture of the real most toxic societal problem of today - the abdication of personal responsibility - someone who drops out of high school is going to have poor economic prospects - but it's not society's fault - it's the individual's fault for making a poor choice - but then when people are bombarded consistently with the idea that their problems are always the fault of someone or something else, from religion to racism, they have no incentive to try to make sensible, thoughtful decisions for themselves........

sociology professor David Grusky, director of the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality...concludes: “We can think of them as canaries in the coal mine who reveal just how toxic those problems are.”

Shall we consider the toxicity brought about by professors of sociology, Dr. Grusky? It isn't generally professors of chemistry who announce to an entire generation that they cannot succeed and it's somebody else's fault.

“(Pro tip: “

Pro tip: When you are not preaching to others you might have something useful to say. If I wanted to spend time writing a dissertation I would; but would not spend the time doing so on this type of blog. True Freepers can understand each other among the typos.

In some ways I’m envious of my grandfather in the Navy.

He shot enough of the people who were the cause of his problems and got a medal for it. If I tried the same thing I’d be imprisoned or killed by my own countrymen by that evening and my entire extended family put on a watchlist.

And when he got home from serving his nation, he didn’t have to worry that the job he applied for was actually a pyramid scheme in disguise or would betray them for foreign sweatshop labor. His marriage contract also had more legal “sticking power” than the return policy of a toaster at Sears.

Oh dear, Wuli! My apologies for being unclear!!

I was speaking to the illiterate millennials, not to you!!!!

All my fault. I can see how you would take it that way.

_I_ need to be clearer, in future.
