Required readings in school:
How sad it is when our schools have dumbed down in true substance of required readings!
George Orwell's "1984" appeared as so much future "nevah happen" when he had it published in 1949, but it is encroaching all of us in our secular-progressive America of today. Doublethink and doublespeak, in which political lies have become so common, most voters do not recognize the difference between those lies and long-recognized truths, is absolutely scary in this society. One book of a trilogy of same including the Russian Zamyatin in his book "We" and Aldous Huxley in his "Brave New World" expressed a warning for the future which is upon us.
It would create an enormous addition to the education of our youth to require such reading today but the left wing media would certainly move to put such ideas down.

Jack,
America is savable. I am a Tea Party guy. The media wants to destroy
us, but we are the hope of the Republican party. I'm with the Ted
Cruz, Marco Rubio, Sarah Palin, and all other true conservatives.
With only two parties, the democrats have deserted America's middle
class and gone for the socialist regime, but the other party is our
only hope. I hope you stay around to win back the House and Senate in
2014. I want your vote youngster!
I should remind my old Torjan friend, Jack, that Dave Spriggs bet that
team (I forget which one) which had a chance to beat the Trojans on
our one yard line that they wouldn't score. They didn't in four downs
I believe you told me, and Dave barged into their locker room after
the game and collected from each opponent bettor. The fat lady (Kate
Smith) ain't around to sing again, but the game is not over good
friend.

Important addition by Jack P!
It was Middletown. on their field. First and goal on the five yard
line. Daves' comment. "I'll bet any son-of-a-bitch over there 50 cents
you don't score.The game ended 0 to 0. Jim , Doc, and I went up there
for the basketball game that winter(Middletoen ran the Trojans off the
floor) and we ran into a bunch of guys who had been on their football
team and they treated us like we were long lost relatives. Later
Walker interviewed and got the basketball coaching job at Middletown.
He told us we got him that job( He is now in the High school hall of
fame. as a coach)He said that the hiring committee ask him a few
routine basketball questions and then they only wanted to talk about
the football game we had there, that fall.I have a lot of beautiful
memories of PHS. Not just athletic. Jim. Doc and I had Miss Henriette
Dupuy three years for math courses and we all just loved that woman.
like she was an old maiden aunt and so gullible and vulnerable( but
totally capable. A happy,happy four years were spent at PHS. Jack P
