though I suppose after a year or two of class you could maybe or should have figured it out. but school and real life have never really seemed to correspond? kinda like how our government is out of touch with the populace or in other words detached from reality!

I don't see why you cant bounce jobs until you find your calling then go from there on schooling really it just makes sense, you could still change your mind but it would be better then a blind investment!
Yep. And rather than paying for education, the person would earn money or at least work at no cost in the case of internships. The increased degree approach--where we must earn a higher percentage of degrees all the time--reminds me of AP classes in high school. The counselors practically forced students to enroll in AP classes because this enrollment, rather than the end grades, made our school look good, and this seems to be the case with degrees too with our country as a whole. I'm not a government hater but this does not make sense to me.

no doubt, I myself do not hate nor am anti government but you must have a working system for my support. much like using a nail where a bolt or rivet should be or in place of a door stop a piece of paper.

I don't think there's any plan to create slaves. I think there's a loss of control and discretion on the parts of the citizens. I think it's a matter of sheer carelessness, thoughtlessness and lack of control in good breeding practices that has gotten out of hand.

I think there is a plan to divide the human race into two groups. It is just my opinion. In the future I can't see any other way except to divide the human race.
The distance between the have and the have nots is getting wider each day. The haves are the ones who have fewer children, more education, more opportunities, control larger amounts of property money power, and more control over other groups of people.
The have nots have larger families, less education, less opportunities, less property money power, and do not even have control over their own lives.
The haves are in control of our government and make all the laws.
The have nots are controlled by our government and have no say
in the laws, the way they are enforced, or even how they are interperted.
The haves need a group of people to perform the tasks of growing the food and the upkeep for themselves.
The have nots need some one to take care of them. Provide food, care, and make decisions for them.
Basically, the way it works today but there will be much greater differences in the groups. This will probably even include where each group lives.

The have nots will be a much larger group in numbers. They will have no power at all. They will be controlled and will never even think of over powering and starving the haves. It is being endoctered into their lives today that the haves will supply their needs, make the decisions, and control everything. The have nots will be controlled by believing there is a difference in the ruling race. They will be given the idea they are free to choose who will be the governing people. Truth is they have no choice at all.
They can choose who is behind door A or who is behind boor B. There is no difference in A or B. They are the same.

This will not happen in the immediate future. It will take place slowly, well not so slowly the last few years. It is my belief we are already too far into the plan to change it. There is no other way. We will just have to make the most of our situation. There are some that can see what is happening but the percentage drops each year. The increase in the numbers of people being provided for by the government is a good indicator of how close we are to the plam being being put into action.

Or maybe I am just getting crazy in my old age and it is all in my head.

MartainChick, we had some of "The Lost Boys" here in N.TX too, read about things done for them-good program. And I dont think it bred contempt. Those involved felt like they had really done something to help the world.

They really are amazing people to have endured all that they have and still come out on the other side with hopeful, "can-do" attitudes. I realized this morning that I had forgotten another group in my post that has done well locally...the Bosnians. They have really assimilated into our culture here after enduring war and other strife. They are mostly white in appearance and predominately Muslim. There were a lot of job programs/subsidies to companies to help them when they first arrived. At the time(1990's), jobs were fairly plentiful and many had factory skills. My husband used to supervise a shift that was comprised of about 50% Bosnians. They seem to be hard workers and also have a commitment to higher education. Most of the ones that he supervised are now American citizens.
