Dave´s Post
First of all, I am having an awesome time here. The food is incredible, the people are wonderful, and the work is greatly fulfilling. It will all be missed. I don´t really know what to write about so I will describe an image that has been engrained in my mind. Two days ago, while walking to the house, I saw a little boy going to school. He was wearing his school uniform and was carrying is backpack. He also was carrying a machette. To me, this boy perfectly illustrates the challenge of imposing well meaning, but foriegn concepts (universal primary schooling) onto a developing country. This strange juxtoposition shows why reaching the UN Development Goals (one of which is universal primary education) is so difficult.

"UN Development Goals (one of which is universal primary education)" Sounds like NWO propaganda to me.
The problem regarding "universal primary education" is the measuring stick used as its basis. Do we use that of the U.S.? Do we use that of Japan? There's a significant disparity in the educational systems of these countries. I feel that a "universal primary education" should consist of simple rock throwing and spear chucking. Proof of this is the use of gargantuan words such as "juxtoposition" by people whose intelligence rivals that of a retarded eggplant.
Sad how this generation lost touch with our forefathers. A scant 200 years has gone by and so many have already forgotton why this country exists. The UN and the rest of the socialist progressive world government machine chugs away with programs like "universal primary education". While screeching about "diversity" out of one side of their mouth and "one world" out of the other. It is to laugh.
U.S. soveriegnty is threatened everyday by marxist thugs that want to dismantle the Constitution while apologizing to the rest of the world for being the model that has inspired immigrants to flee their third world squalor and pursue life, liberty and happiness.
The UN is a malignant tumor seeking to enslave the entire human race.
If the U.S. doesn't adopt an isolationist stance soon, all will be lost.
Anne,
If the savages there don't kill and devour you in some voodoo ritual, would you like to go out some time?
Dance the fish blue sandwich. John has a long mustache. The banana peel in the green grass kitchen is conversely adjacent to the Japanese flying sand tiger. The chair is against the wall. Boyscouts jump on jell-o. The crow flighs at midnight.
These are things with no question, no answer, no meaning, the same as using the words "awesome" and "juxtaposition" in the same paragraph. Perhaps it is reasons such as this that Honduran school children carry machettes. The Honduran proletariat regimes are circumspect in that their controversial and superfluous nature simply pontificate about nonsensical drivel.
Doesn't using big words make you sound smart, the same as voting for Obama?
Why are we forcing our beliefs of the New Wolrd Order onto the poor, helpless Honduran people? The kids carry machettes to defend themselves against the remaining insurgents still loyal to Noriega. If we want to help, we shoud give the kids M-16's - that'll give them all the defensive firepower they need. And a small kid in the jungle is a lot tougher to spot than a full grown man. Why do you think Charlie used kids so much in Vietnam? I worked then, and it will work now
To begin with, I feel I should correct you in that Noriega was the dictator of Panama, not Honduras. Secondly, if an attempt at the correct spelling of "world" proves too much of a challenge for you, then perhaps you lack the mental faculties to even post an intelligent comment.
"Arming kids" would be an ends to what means, might I ask? And how does this and the belief in "uniform primary schooling" transverse to cumulatively culminate in a functional educational environment? We do not condone such abhorrent actions, so by what mutated logic did you surmise this?
Hondurans are not being asked to premptively transmogrify their existing educational hierarchy since in no way does it oppose those of ours. On the contrary, the United States; nay, the New World Order, as you so eloquently penned, and Honduras have unified aspirations of equality in all areas of life, thereby ensuring the production of economially viable individuals to help make their homeland self sufficient.
I don't give two hoots about Noriega. My point is that they're going to come back and bite us in the fanny, just like all the other countries we help. We gave Iraq all the weapons it needed to fight Iran in the 1980's, and look what it got us. And after saving Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War, look at how they treated us after 9/11. Heck, even Korea shouldn't be a problem now. Truman should have let MacArthur cross the 38th parallel, push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China, take it apart brick by brick, and nuke 'em back to the Stone Age. Problem solved! But it didn't happen, and look at North Korea now. It makes me sick.
As for this "universal primary schooling" (not UNIFORM, genius), all we'll be doing is funnelling money into a country that's going to program their rugrats to become mini-America haters. But why even do that? Just let all who want cross the border with no problem, since Obama is doing all he can to shred Arizona's new Immigration Law. They'll get free health care, free living, free everything. Heck, let's just give them the keys to the White House.
This is another country that we're trying to "save" when it doesn't want to be. If it did, it would have begged for help when either Hurricane Mitch or Hurricane Gilbert made the place look like a nuke HAD been dropped there.
It's like this: You think Iraq still wants our troops their "accidentally" using their women and kids as live target practice? We did our job, got Hussein, now we should get out. And like always, we never learn, so the same thing is going to happen in Honduras - mark may words.
Well, the "universal primary schooling" has to be just that: primary. This means having the didactic duplicity of transforming an educational system by regressive measures. This is a society unbeknownst to us where we must not postulate the standards of literacy and overall academic accumen, but rather, engineer a consolidated point of origin that encompasses all levels and runs the gamut of understanding, beginning with the most basic (albeit barbaric) actions of rock throwing and spear chucking. From there can we gain the insightful profundity necessary to create a legitimate and successful machine of academia.
