epiphany

As I was on the bus today I realised something.  It is something that I imagine not many people really think about.  I was talking to an elderly gentleman who was saying that when he was young e.t.c. and I got to thinking for each generation each family is taught primarily from the head of the house be it father or child.  Now imagine that each child is taught as best that they can be by those parents.  How can a parent who has not actually seen good parenting be expected to raise their child in the manor of a typical good child.  Both parents from each walk of society will do what is best for their child unfortuately we don't live in a society that will recognise this fact and hence we are lumbered with youngsters who typically expect to be given all that they need as well as youngsters that believe no matter what they do their achievements will be met with ridicule.  Posh kids seriously piss me off, measure the iq of most posh kids and it falls below most typical inner city school kids.  By most I do mean over 50% just to make things more statistically correct.  It shouldn't be like this but no matter what I do no change happens the government do need to step in on this one.  There was another point I needed to make, possibly the collapse of XL possibly not, anyway I'll update this lot later!!!
