    I just finished talking to a man I don't know.

    He's a Goodwill volunteer.

    He thinks the Iran war is justified because "if they get nuclear weapons, they're just crazy enough to fire one."

    I said, "Well, our nation is the only one that's been crazy enough to do that so far."

    He looked at me blankly.

    Further conversation revealed that this man, who is in his late 40s or early 50s, did not know about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    I was too floored to do more than suggest researching the history.

      You just met the "common man".

      (Try not to get too depressed.)

          This is a perfect example of what happens when your leaders are concerned with putting a Bible in every classroom and stripping school library shelves of books about penguins with two daddies -- instead of being concerned with actually *EDUCATING*.

          Last I checked, Oklahoma is still dead last in quality of education nation-wide. And our leaders, despite their words to the contrary, like it that way.

          Ignorant people are damned easy to hook by the nose and lead to the slaughter.

          Just a quick note to any Americans thinking of moving to Canada: If you are considering moving to SK, joining an evangelical church and voting for the Sask party, please don't.

          We already have a surplus.

          Mind you, if you are a MAGA, you will feel right at home. In Alberta, too.
