I never passed the fourth grade. :)

It's true.


You were double promoted.

Ah see - now you went and ruined everything.


SWS,
Double promoted means you moved forward in the grades, when they sent
you back to 2nd grade, it does not rate as a double promotion.

3. Give synonyms for safe, brave, and diligent

Well, goes without saying...

Me, me and me. :)


In your case I do not think Me and Safe are synonyms.


I am extremely safety minded.

Dangerously safety minded, but still safety minded.


Safety minded is different than safe. Safety mined is figuring out a way to
blow up something without blowing up yourself at the same time.

Historical accounts in any form are pretty subjective. There was a
teacher in our local High School who got in a bit of trouble for
teaching 10th graders the history of the American Revolution from the
standpoint of the British.




You mean, when our ancestors here were insurgents?


We may have taught the rest of the world the basics of asymetrical
warfare, having learned it from the Indians.



Actually, it's a perfectly natural way to fight. It has to be UNlearned.
Uniforms are part of the UNlearning process. If America was invaded, anyone
who refused to resist the invading force because he didn't have a uniform
would be correctly labeled an idiot.

This is the example you've chosen for now. Last week it was a
different
one, the week before a different one. *My question remains, did he
ever
learn to fight his own battles? Will you be there every time he has a
run
in with authority? Sure hope to hell he doesn't join the Marines*.

You going on about someone elses family again??
Who knows if the kid will want to be a marine or not...that's his
choice.
He could always serve his country by being an army officer...hiding far
from
the action while directing others to do all the dangerous dirty work.


Butt out, Don. You've no idea of what was said. You and JimH should
spend
less time playing with each other.

That's the beauty of the written word Johnny..... it's right there in

Leave the mans' family alone!



Wow, why did the old man bring me into this discussion? Is he still
obsessed with me?


I bet, if you went to his house, you'd see reasonable facimilie pictures of
you and Harry up on his bedroom wall.
He's getting like Skipper, loses every encounter and yet is frothing at the
mouth to engage again.

And you complain that your kid won't do chores when told.


Did he ever learn to fight his own battles? Do you get involved
every
time
he disagrees with a teacher.


I guess so. You're always right, and you taught him, so he must
be
always
right also.


Good for you.

At 11, would you let YOUR kids talk back to adults? *If you can
find
out
where your kids live, ask them if they remember.


Doug, has your kid been 11 all his life?

John H


This is about one week, one summer, one year. But, if you can
explain
how
you came up with "all his life", maybe I'll entertain your bizarre
theory.

He was taught to question and/or torment authority at exactly the
right
age
when he was able to do it successfully. He's done it quite well.


As long as daddy's right behind him.

Whatever you say, John. However, you should contemplate your odd need to
toss 7th grade responses at people because you think it helps you "win".
When your wife returns from her "tennis lesson", ask her about your odd
behavior.


Krausish.

John H


Another 7th grade response! Stop obsessing about Krause.


Doug, you're the one who finds his style so worthy of emulation.

John H


Only in your imagination, John. I'll make you a deal: Try turning off your
television for one week, and see if that helps you come up with responses
that are worthy of an adult. Something's turning your brains to oatmeal. TV?
Old age? Lack of use?


Can't do that. I just checked out all the Ken Burns "Civil War" series.
They're due back in 7 days.


Sorry.


You are getting the responses you deserve. Actually, much more than you
deserve.
Ken Burns? He's to the left of Michael Moore. Really.


Well, if the "Civil War" makes a liberal of me, so be it.


Just wanted you to be aware that it might not be quite the same story you heard
in school, or any other accounts you may have read, heard or seen.


Gosharoonie, I've read at least two dozen major tomes on the Civil War,
and all of them differed from each other in small or significant ways in
describing many of the same events. Burns' "Civil War" was much more a
relating of the personal and anecdotal than a comprehensive retelling of
the orders of battle and the politics. That's what made it so compelling
to so many people.

When do you find the time to read, what with watching that Hollywood
drivel all of the time, boating, going to the best plays and concerts
all of the time, only eating at the finest restaurants, chumming it up
with the Bush's and maintaining your lobster boat? Your Yale alumni
must miss you at their functions, too, because you're not listed.
