Valium for the Soul

Come with me on a journey through uncharted territory...

Quotes:
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being. - Oscar Wilde
Quotes:
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein
Quotes:
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. - Mark Twain
Quotes:
I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him. - Mark Twain
Quotes:
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. - Albert Einstein

Why the education department concerns me
I have discussed previously my issues with the new reporting system for students, however it now appears that an additional component of the federal govt requirements is for parents to be surveyed regarding their particular school. Hence 'you have been randomly chosen' to participate, followed by the following statement:

You have been issued with a unique username.... this will ensure that your response is anonymous.

What the? It was sent to me, with a unique username (which means it is linked to me in a database otherwise how can they be sure that its 'unique') so that anonymity is assured.

I give up.

    wtf indeed. We are not supposed to be smart enough to figure that out.

    This goes along with phrases like;

    "Trust me!"

    "I'll respect you in the morning."

    "It was owned by a little old lady from Pasadena and never driven over 30 mph." (Pasadena is a very lovely city just North of Los Angeles. I believe the Beach Boys had a song with that theme- the little old lady from Pasadena.)
