Listen Up America!
Listen up, America! Listen
to Old Ron. You are fiddling while Rome crying
laughing all the way to the bank while you are being repossessed, you have lost
your jobs, and many of you–far too many– are on the streets and your children
are hungry. Then they have the audacity to call you lazy loafers, deadbeats,
ne’re-do-wells, worthless, and not wanting to find a job. I say again, “Listen
Up”! Do you think this is a bunch of bunk? You are under attack! Open your
eyes. Have ears to hear and eyes to see. Read your newspapers. Listen to the TV
news. Read between the lines. Look closely for their distortions, half-truths,
misinformation, and omissions. What they
say is important, but what they omit has much to say, also.
Having said that, do not believe everything they have to say. Do not believe everything I, Old Ron, have to say either. See for yourself. Always question everything. Question, study, and learn, but most of all, listen up. Be awake. The fate of your country is at stake.

Ron, you are so right! One subtle factor that does affect how people can accept lies and misrepresentations is the decline in our public education. The top percentile are not "consumers" of public education overall as most are products of private schools. Thus reducing the quality of public education is part of the plan to eliminate critical thinking, independent thinking among our young people. In fact, the infamous Texas School Board proposed eliminating everything that smacked of critical thinking from its curriculum, thus affecting many other states since textbook publishers aren't about to produce whole sets of separate textbooks for each state. So while you and I shout "think about it" we are shouting to many who are unlikely to fact check anything, just take Faux Nuz commentators as gospel without question. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverly. I am not an educator, but one doesn't have to be one to recognize how ineffective our present educational system is when looking at high school graduates who can't read, write, or perform simple math. I'm sure I'll be having something to say about education in future blogs.
DeleteAgain, thank you.
Ron
