BA in Criminal Justice at Purdue, class of 2010. I might got back for a Masters or graduate school.

I call it Mission Creep. Seems to be an inevitable fact of living in a civilized world. There was once a time that a person was considered literate if one could write one's name. Fifty-five years ago a High School diploma was enough to ensure one could enjoy a mid-level Middle Class exsistence.

Now a B. A. is considered to be what the H.S. diploma was in 1955 and a P.H.D. is almost mandatory for anyone with aspirations of achieving real financial success.

Is it any wonder that throughout history the who damn mess breaks down periodically and we have to go back to the drawing board? It seems that everything starts to become unworkable.

Like our military mission in Afghanistan.

But hell I'm just feeling gloomy today. Sorry.
