At some point, the USA became an out take from Lord of the Flies, with the accompanying chaos. We have more metal detectors in our schools than at our airports.
We spend more to incarcerate people than we do to educate them in the elementary school system.
In CT, building and filling jails is a growth industry, and the state will actually pay municipalities for siting a prison within their boundaries.
Instead of complementing the universe opened through applied technology for education, we leave our children alone with a machine, the personal computer, more fraught with peril than the TV our parents were blamed for plopping us in front of.
And then we 'wonder and worry about the kids.'
Heck, that black and white one-eyed monster had neither the sex nor murder cacading from it that the flat screen monitor with the DSL hookup or T-3 line brings to our kids 24/7.
This is the Brave New World, Pilgrim, so put on a brave new world face.
