Boys are being failed by our schools

The Daily Mail, a British newspaper, is reporting that schools are failing boys by feminizing the schoolwork. Basically, the boys are growing up not knowing how to be men due to a generation of man-hating feminist slowly eroding away the foundations and meanings of masculinity. We have missed the boat.

Any desire to compete and win has been discouraged as savage and barbaric. However, boys are hard-wired by God to be competitive. Now, no one thinks boys should be taught to win at all costs and to cheat. Masculinity is winning within the framework of the game, the rules. Play hard. Work hard. Play nobly. Win with honor.

Blowing Cool Air

Current Mood: Feeling stupid

Repairmen came very quickly. Charged us a $100 service call to reset the breaker. Apparently, the storm last night tripped the breaker.

Blowing Hot Air

No...not me. Although some people think that is all I do. Our air conditioner is blowing hot air. Erin just called me and said the house is like 90 degrees inside. Repairmen have been summoned. Stretching wallet now for payout.

Follow-up
With a big "middle-finger-up-in-the-air" to consumers, small business owners, and other companies, the Republicans in the House have dutifully cow-towed to the demands of the Telecomms. ATT&T, BellSouth, et. al. have recieved the return of their "investment" into the campaigns of House Republicans.

It is rare that I agree with Democrats, but they got it right on this one. Read the article:

House rejects Net neutrality rules | Tech News on ZDNet:

"The U.S. House of Representatives definitively rejected the concept of Net neutrality on Thursday, dealing a bitter blow to Internet companies like Amazon.com, eBay and Google that had engaged in a last-minute lobbying campaign to support it."

Happy Birthday, Oldest Niece

My oldest niece turns 16 today. In honor of her birthday, I want to tell you a story about her. My Oldest Niece is a natural blonde, with all the stereotypes that come with the hair. Recently, at the dinner table, she told an "off-color" joke that played-off of a racial stereotype. My brother-in-law seized this as a teaching moment and warned my niece to be wary of where and to whom she told such jokes because she might hurt someone's feelings. In an effort to make the lesson personable to her, he asked her if she was offended when people told "blonde jokes."

My niece was quiet and the table could tell she was contemplating the question. My brother-in-law was inwardly dancing with glee, thinking he had effictively communicated a principle. After a few moments of thinking, my niece replied by saying "Only when I get them."
