K-12 – the vast culture nowhere land

Americans – especially young people – have no culture whatsoever, nothing that sets a moral or ethical standard. Our schools are geared toward teaching them raw knowledge, not erudition or creativity or appreciation of the arts. Until that changes there are no rules or regulations or punishments that will prevent that sort of thing as happened in Iraq from happening again. The military culture is even more shallow than the civilian culture – the Army figured putting a black beret on top of every soldiers head would make them civilized. It’s not what goes on top of their heads, but what goes in their heads – and especially their hearts that matters.
