This cartoon is just so brilliantly wrong, it's completely right. I wish every grammar school in the country walked students through each type of selfish ignorance depicted here.

Maybe then more kids would grow up knowing that most of what they enjoy came from the efforts (and taxes) of their parents and grandparents, and their parents

We're a Crowd making a list

About The New Change To Twitter Search

Shoq — Thu, 20 May 2010 00:57:13 +0000
