Post #218,637 by imqwerky 8/10/05 2:08:51 PM Reply	I can still recite "Abou Ben Adhem","The World Is Too Much With Us (still a relevant poem), and "No Man Is An Island", just to name a few. We are letting our kids down by not having them memorize poetry or passages of well-written prose (i.e., The Gettysburg Address, Shakespeare, speeches from that long lost species: the statesman/orator). Nope, Bush thinks it's more impotent that they study ID. tsk, tsk. Peace, Amy Illegitimi non corborundum.

Mental aerobics is so good for the body. Much better than that sick-o asphyxiation-speak going on in the other forum. This is an infinitely better high. No shoes, shirt, batteries, or membership fees required. Just, perhaps, a current library card. ;) Peace, Amy Illegitimi non corborundum.

Particularly considering that he wants them to study abstainance as well. :-) Cheers, Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)
