Here is an example of the dumbing down of America, in my opinion. This young fellow quit college, and has been awarded a $100, 000 grant because of it. If the opinion piece that he has written for CNN.com is any indication, then I think that Dale J.

I usually do not seed many articles here on the vine, but I just had to seed this one. I thought that he did a great job, and remained composed, which is probably more than I could have done.

I was not a big fan when the college bowl games started adding the sponsor's name to the title of the game. You know, we now have the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and so on. Well, now it seems that this kind of sponsorship may be coming to election cycles near you.

" the emergency room for NON-EMERGENCY treatment"
The vast majority of people who do this are citizens who can not afford health insurance, or the cost to go for a regular doctor's visit. The illegal immigrants who do this are a minuscule amount... just a tiny drop in a very large bucket.

Illegals mainly use the emergency room for NON-EMERGENCY treatment. You wonder why so many hospitals and clinics are closing??? It's because the illegals NEVER pay for the treatment. I had a real emergency, only to wait in a room full of forigners who could not speak a word of english who obviously were not there for an emergency. GET REAL. This abuse of our system needs to stop. The tax payers should not have to pay for this.
