Stupid Is As Stupid Does/Was/Is

      

There is ongoing discussion today about our Education System. Many are worried that the students of today and not too smart because the Education System is not teaching them to be smart.

The 1980s were a long time ago. Certainly way back then our Education System was still working...Or was it?  

The other day I stumbled across this Interesting but Sad Bit of Trivia...

In the 1980s A&W tried to compete with McDonald’s 1/4 Pounder with their 1/3 Pounder at a lower price but the product failed because the customers thought the 1/4 Pounder was bigger.

In order to not depress you any further, I will end this Blog Posting right here.

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: You will probably now accuse me of lying above when I said I was ending this Blog Posting. OK, accuse me of lying because I lied, but he Very Late Plato is visiting with me today and he asked me to impart to you one of the things he was worried about in his day...

"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?"

Now I’m really worried because I read somewhere that this Plato guy was really smart.

It is probably a good thing that this Plato guy is no longer with us. Every year at Graduation time I can feel his disappointment as he would get all excited about his being invited to give Commencement Addresses. He would get his robes all cleaned and pressed and wait by his Smartphone for the invitations to come pouring in only to read about all the Hollywood Celebrities that where being invited instead of him.
