I have, in many ways, the privilege of teaching super-intelligent, highly motivated young American students. Most of them are between the ages of 14 and 25. They are truly the future. And they are terrific.
Their elders however, those that have currently risen to power in American government are soft, and uncritical, and "entitled." By virtue of color, or race, or prejudice -- they have set themselves up as intellectual oligarchs -- hoarding opinion for fact, and belief for truth. And they are leading our country into unknown chasms of ignorance, and ultimately, despair.
Arrogance is their crime. And entitlement is their game. They are the Republicans who have failed us so many times before, and will fail us so many times in the future. We who are left, can only pity them and provide for ourselves.
