When rap music first started I would tell the scoffers that black people invented almost every kind of music we Americans enjoy so don't discount rap's longevity.

I have long guessed that he bribed a foreign official and the Russians have the proof. An American bribing a foreign official is a felon.

Otherwise, why would he ignore the fact that Russia is still a foe of America's interest?

Young people think that our present form of government is a joke.

And modern governance boils down to this.

Young people are absolutely certain that there will be no Social Security when they need it. They have no chance of buying a house.
The ones who tried to better their chances with a degree are hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt before they can legally drink and the ones without degrees are forced to take jobs they hate.
They are all too aware that they and their kids and grandkids are $22,000,000,000,000 in debt.
They don't get married and they certainly don't want children because they can't afford them.
The Germans have a word for it.
And we wonder why they take drugs and kill themselves.

I just wonder when the American people will take to the streets to protest our country being plundered by a hand full of superrich pricks?

America's youth could do worse than take these brave young people as their model for justice.
Hong Kong. And the students drown it out with “Do You Hear The People Sing"
It is amazing. Hong Kong students are the model of civil disobedience & they are the future of Hong Kong. Go Hong Kongers!

During the spate of hurricane news, they mentioned South Carolina's Low Country often. That is the region that is not only in the lower part of the state but is at a lower elevation.
I was asked to paint a mural in a school by a first-year principal in Charleston and I suggested scenes of Low Country life including shrimp boats, basket weaving, beaches, etc. During his presentation to the whole school board while asking for funding he said, "We want to paint scenes of Low Life Country..." I let it slide the first time, but the second time he made the same mistake I corrected him and I've never seen a man turn that shade red.

A few years ago when I took my friend's phone, went into his contacts and changed my name to Natalie Portman. A few days later I rang him and he answered, surprised but with real hope in his voice, “Hello... Natalie?”

I know you spend much time with the younger generation so you have a different perspective but in my experience the young folks with piles of education debt received degrees in useless fields ie liberal arts and received said degree in more than the normal four or five years.
I know many young people with teaching degrees or business degrees who are paying off student loans and buying homes and doing just fine.
My two cents.

Help me out here, friend. So all poetry and creative writing and art degrees are...what..wasting their time? And the measure of education's worth is the amount of money you can make? I love you man, but the worshipping of the almighty dollar has put us in the situation we are in now.
Mr. Ralph,
That's not what I'm saying. We need people of all kinds to make the world go around there is a use for poetry, creative writing and art degrees.
What I'm saying is the folks whining the loudest about student loan debt and their inability to find a job to purchase a home or even make a decent living need to reevaluate their lives.
They made a decision to do what they love or follow their dream of getting a certain type of degree and with that decision comes the reality they may never own a home or payoff that debt and they now expect society to help them out.
All I'm really trying to say is please don't whine about your lot in life if you spent seven or eight years getting a degree that won't help you pay your OWN bills.
You yourself have a Masters Degree. Your decision to get an advanced degree must have at some point been made with some sort of financial thought involved. The advanced degree must have given you some sort of "leg up" on others in your field.
Our generation went to college got degrees, in many different areas, and made those degrees work for us and allow us to have at least part of the American Dream.
I don't remember hearing the whining in the 70's or 80's or even 90's that I do today about poor me.....
This is a conversation better served over a beer, or glass of wine, than through short comment boxes.
You do a great Job Sir Ralph.

But in the 70s and 80s, nobody had to incur a lifetime of debt to get a degree. Textbooks didn't cost $800 each. I do understand your point, but the cards seem to be stacked against this latest generation.
