Today I was discussing the American educational system with Someone Wise.

While it annoys me when people go on about how the American educational system is messed up, nevertheless they do have a point.

A transcript:

Me: It* reinforces my theory that the world is full of crazies.
Someone Wise: That’s hardly a theory. It’s completely true.
The world is overrun by 1) crazies; 2) stupid people; and 3) stupid crazies.
Me: (laughter)
SW: Sometimes laughter is the best way to deal with terror.
