Remember Pearl Harbor

[Bob # 1]

Sad day in our history, not all was in vain as we still have our freedom to express ourselves be it good or bad

[shipahoy41]

Amen dad. I remember. I am flying my flag at half staff today. Freedom is not free. All gave some....some gave all!

70 years ago, I lowered my flag also ship!

Can't understand it. We learn so much from our history...what to do...what not to do again...how can we fail to keep our future citizens appraised of all that we've been through as a great democracy? Just don't make sense.

Agreed. The whole area of civics and history has been de-emphasized in our schools. How can a democracy maintain itself unless civic responsibility and history are carefully and completely taught, not just as some throwaway course to fill out some coach's paycheck, so that people have the basis to make informed political decisions! Now I like sports well enough, in its place, but our schools need to be a whole lot more rounded in coursework than just whatever the local team's win/lose record is. I love a good ballgame. But more important subjects need to be addressed as well.

I agree 100% with this statement. Academics don't seem to be as important as Sports..You have an Engineering student that invents a new method of bettering our country and he or she receives a plaque and $5000.00..Then a football player that can't spell cat gets a signing bonus and contract for $60,000,000.00..Something don't make sense to me..

WE have become "The Roman Crowd of the Coliseum". We know what happened there.
