I assume everyone has heard on the news this week how the children of the United States stack up against children from other countries in the area of reading, writing and arithmetic. Shanghi ranks at the top I believe....followed by several other counties, while the United States kids fall somewhere around #20 or some sad spot.

Big Bubba may be scoring touchdowns and hitting the three's and bringing down millions of dollars while doing so, but knowledge is power. I wonder why I haven't felt as much fire in the belly's of the United States citizens over these test scores as I have felt and sensed the feelings of others about other subjects such as; our political leaders pathetic ways, the healthcare reform, stimulus packages A through K, and on and on and on? Why is this? The children of this country are the future, the children of this country are OUR future and ultimately the future of the United States.

Like I say...I saw it on the news this week and that's about it, by this weekend or come Monday morning of next week it will probably be a forgotten subject.
