Now I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked a lot about responsibility. I’ve talked about your teachers’ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn. I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox. I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working where students aren’t getting the opportunities they deserve. But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world – and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. And that’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.
all his address did was to tell kids to work hard and stay in school, and maybe they could grow up to be president. And for the first time EVER, it's true of a much larger fraction of america's youth.
Those against this were already against this, for the most crass of reasons. He's not stirring ENOUGH pots.
And I don't give two shits what your post is about, because your posts is, as always, mind-bogglingly stupid.
It still is. Only problem is you're not really "fucking the system" when the "system" is telling you how to do it. Examples of this would be watching and getting all your talking points from Glenn Beck on big corporate media giant News Corp., the "grassroots" protests where the protesters got their talking points from the richest of the rich at corporate lobbyist firms in DC(Freedom Works, Dick Armey) and being bussed across the country in an air conditioned bus with a bloody red hand print on it.
I'm talking about when we didn't want to live in any system who told us how to live at all (in effect anarchy) and we could go about freely doing our own thing on our own terms. Not this watered down punk rock bs.
I haven't knelt yet ... but whoever is the Commander in Chief ... I'll salute ... he deserves that much ... being elected leader of the oldest democracy in the world ...

Date: 2009-09-08 08:38 pm (UTC)Although when I think about it, all that his address did was to further polarize those that were on the fence, and making them pick a side.
He's stirring too many pots.
