"I maintain that the U.S. education system started taking a dive when self-esteem became more important than accomplishment ("Everyone gets a gold star just for showing up! Yay!"). You can draw your own conclusions from that."
I love that. It's not just effecting the educational system. It's totally spread to the work place. Work's work, but I can't stand people that think they should get paid for just showing. I'MHEREGIMMECHECKNOW! Bah! Does no one remember something called work ethic? Most people don't know the meaning of ethics in general for that matter.
...I must build a wallpaper computer shrine to Marlon Brando now.
