“Are we raising a generation of nincompoops? And do we have only ourselves to blame?”

Yes and yes.

INDEED.

Back in the early 19080s, I read a WSJ article about companies that were revamping product labels and services.

One canning company added an 800# and deleted cooking instructions on canned corn.

The 800# was overwhelmed.

The deleted instructions were along the lines of:

1. Open Can 2. Place contents in saucepan 3. Heat.

Of course, canning, according to one theory, led to the development of the ICBM. Since liberals abhor war, they must abhor the weapons of war - ICBMs, the can, and can opener.

Oh, and the company did replace the canned corn instructions.

It has been going on for years. And we are now paying the price. A very high price. The downward spiral of America.
