as if that would make it any better even IF it was a class thing. and yes, intersectionality is always bad, its so...icky! Anyway, we just voted for Obama. case closed. You know, i was thinking today that our education system is such a goddamned mess. we are eating our seedcorn, our children, for the future. this led to thoughts of patriotism. and i wondered why was it that patriotism didn't include making sure that all Americans were afforded as much opportunity as possible. I mean, even if you look at it in pragmatic terms, America's prejudices and discrimination are causing her to lose so much talent and potential people resources, which is just stupid as hell. I mean, why isn't anyone articulating this on a policy level?
