An education Americans should learn and teach people of Middle East

OCTOBER 19, 2010

I was doing a little research into an article I read some time ago. I could not find much about the article but I still believe the thesis. It argued and cited research that getting to and remaining in the middle class or above. The article, in condensed form stated that all a person had to do was follow four simple rules and you would have a fine life, financially. Those four things are;

1.      Graduate High School, you do not have to study hard enough to get straight ‘As’, just graduate.
2.      Do not commit crimes. Traffic tickets and a minor arrest during your life do not count.
3.      Do not quit your job until you have another job. Don’t intentionally become unemployed.
4.      Do not have children until you are married. You can have sex, just don’t have children.

I strongly believe if we taught these basic principles to the school aged children in America, beginning in the third grade, America would be a better place. We would have much less poverty and fewer homeless people. This is more important knowledge to have than remembering to “Remember the Maine”. I really think we could sneak this lesson into the crowded school day. This should be reiterated twice per month every school year from third grade through student’s Senior year in High School. If my idea works and it will, there will be more seniors in the graduating class to reiterate it to.

For those of you who live in Lady Gaga land, here is a headline no one expected;

MIDEAST TALKS HIT AM ‘IMPASSE’, according to a United Nations official.

Sooner or later the United States is going to wise up and figure out the Jews do not want a peace treaty and the rest of the region does not want a peace treaty. Why do we insist on spending billions of dollars attempting to bring about an impossible conclusion that no one wants but us. The United States is the only country who is worried about the situation. Let it be. We can get involved when something important happens. Until then, let them fight and kill each other until they run out of bullets or get some common sense. This country has better things to do with our money.

If we cease giving aid to everyone who will not sign and abide by a peace treaty, including Israel, I bet the bickering comes to a quick end. Our resolve must be resolute, however. We cannot make any conditions or exceptions to the ‘no aid pledge’. Even so called ‘humanitarian aid’ must cease being paid. If the governments getting the aid do not care enough about their own citizens to ensure the continued flow of the aid, why should we care? It is our money. Why don’t we spend it the way we want to not the way some foreign government or organization wants it spent.

Even though Israel is nuclear, they are not a threat to us or much of the world. They do not have a delivery device for the nuclear weapons that will detonate them far enough from Israel that puts their own country out of harm’s way. Why would they kill themselves?

Let’s call everyone’s bluff in the Mideast. Do it our way or find another sugar daddy. That check has been cashed too many times.
