Dumbed Down and Dumber Still

Sadly, you are right. By North American Union, I take it you are referring to our new status as a mere region under the leadership of the UN, those all knowing all seeing all wise leaders who have done so much in all they have touched....like in Africa.
No one seems to care that our children are dumber than posts...officially, anyway. The pliant masses fed on soy mix and video circuses can't even murmur in protest as the last vestiges are usurped by the UN and the liberty bell is housed in some museum in China.

Californians are rapidly approaching that glorious day when students can pursue doctoral studies in hip hop.

They can stand in the unemployment line with all of the 'Women's Studies' grads.

These students cannot analyze hip-hop lyrics, for example, unless they are first properly given the tools with which to analyze.

Oops, I forgot. Anything the student says, goes; and it is correct. A's for all!

This is truly horrifying! No wonder so many Californians are moving to Nevada!

...that glorious day when students can pursue doctoral studies in hip hop.

They already could write a dissertation on hip-hop culture in, say, the Sociology department. However, they will end up in the unemployment lines since they will not be able to even write an article well enough for Rolling Stone...

They can stand in the unemployment line with all of the 'Women's Studies' grads

Thats "Womyn's Studies" you sexist racist elitist fascist oppresive pig. They wouldn't allow a "men" in them even in the spelling.....

Yup,the new "uber-nation" that result from the joining of the US with Canada and Mexico. Maybe they will call it the "United States of North America" instead of the "North American Union", but it amounts to the same thing.

Thanks for the heads-up...appreciate it.
