Do you get there any faster if you have to keep shaking them off your leg?

We llive in a society where homosexuals lecture us on morals, transvestites lecture us on human biology, baby killers lecture us on human rights, and socialists lecture us on economics.

whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. -Philippians 4:8

This is the day the Lord hath made;  we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Amen.  Thank you for that @ChemEngrMBA

My Dear Friends, thank you for your kind words.
Beginning with college in 1968, I began collecting wisdom from those before me to help me learn.
I continue to come across wisdom from decades or centuries ago that I have never before heard.
Many of those have already been posted so that you can benefit as well.

It is the duty of each of us to do all the mitzvahs we can do daily.  A "mitzvah" is a good deed.  The Hebrew word means "commandment."  You are commanded to do good.  It's not hard.  It benefits you and everyone around you, as you will experience.
You get more creative and better with experience.

I put this on my shirt when I ran a 10K at my alma mater university:
  "SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH
             OR I'LL KILL YOU!"

“In 1950, we spent (in 1989 dollars) $1,333 per student. In 1989 we spent $4931. As John Silber, the President of Boston University, has written, ‘It is troubling that this nearly fourfold increase in real spending has brought no improvement. It is scandalous that it has not prevented substantial decline.’ ”  – William J. Bennett, former Secretary of Education, in The De-Valuing of America

My daughter and her family live in Minnesota, "Land of 10,000 Lakes."
Knowing that Canada is so much larger and must have many more than 10,000 lakes, I looked it up.
You CANNOT IMAGINE the number.  It is more than all of the lakes in the rest of the world combined.
8,780,000!

You just never know what you're going to find on this here thread, eh?

@Bigun

It's not education in elementary and high schools,it's brain washing/conditioning.

No need for it in college because the students are already conditioned,so it's just more of the same/reinforcement,not conditioning. The conditioning has already been done.

Lord God, Jesus Christ, please stop the evil that keeps prevailing on this country.

Bele, these are the last times prophesied in the Holy Bible.  Evil increases every year worldwide.
The enemy to the "uttermost north" wages war on his neighbor with evil malice.
Our resources will run out around 2040 according to a scholarly study by MIT. 
Nature's God gave us just enough to last to the end times.   We lived in the best of them, but those good times are clearly over.
