Remember the 3 R's? It seems that even these have not escaped
attempts to teach children how to think correctly. When one elementary
school student was asked what the 3 R's were, he responded
enthusiastically: "Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse!"

And then there's George Will's assessment of the
manipulation of education -- the three R's have
become racism, reproduction and rainforests.

This comes from the New York Times and was reprinted in the
Oregonian's Living section last Friday...
"After customers complained, a Wal-Mart store in Florida stopped
selling a T-shirt emblazoned with the words, 'Someday, A Woman Will
Be President.'
As a company spokeswoman explained, 'It goes against Wal-Mart's
family values.'"
You know my long-standing love affair with Wal-Mart. I kinda hope
this gets passed throughout the Internet.
