The part I really don't like is a 19 year old girl driving alone hours from home.

I'd love it if the U.S. would institute mandatory military service for 18 year olds, even just 12 months.

I'm glad you were able to help her, and SC is open 24/7 for your venting pleasure . . .

My 20 year old son came home one day and said a friend told him "I don't have to be smart, my phone is". I guess that's good as long as the batteries are charged and there's a signal.

Watch the movie Ideocracy. That is where we are heading and it's not just the gubmint that is leading us there.
