'The Death of Neil Armstrong Brought With It the End of a Remarkable Era'

It's a tragedy that the Space Program has ended...The death of [Neil] Armstrong brought with it the end of a remarkable era...A lot of the innovations we enjoy today came from NASA. This country is on a slow decline to mediocrity. We are no longer the technological giant we claim to be. We are delusional. Writing code for Internet apps and smart phones will not advance our nation, it will only serve to allow us to use our brains less. I keep being reminded of the movie Wall-E, where society becomes fat and void of any form of exercise. Their lives served by machines and controlled. We need to break free of this and return back to those days of glory where innovation and out of the box thinking made us the greatest nation on this Earth. -

Beating The Back To School Blues

“We'll pay the consequences for a generation of adults who are not fully who they can be because of missing out on crucial time to play, imagine and dream in childhood. Keep them home if you can. Homeschool if you can. Allow them to lead their education. Think of how many things you taught yourself. No child is going to get by not figuring out what's yellow and what's red or what the numbers are. Our culture is all around them. They always will learn!! And they will be happy.” -
