There is no greater feeling than striving for perfection and almost getting there, right? Except the term perfection shouldn't exist for obvious reasons: no 1 is perfect. Yes people that strive should be rewarded with the fruits of their labor. However, we shouldn't forget that not everyone gets an equal start in life, wheather it's upbringing, social surroundings or genetics, not everyone starts at the starting line. Okay i know i'm starting to sound like some liberal right? No simply being objective. I must admit i feel aprehensive writing my oppinions on a forum for all the overachievers to satiate themselves by noting any gramatical errors on my sentences,im sure there may be many but, i learn much on how superficial we can all be. As long as our kids our geniuses, we can forget about the many injustices suffered abroad. Mediocrity exists because there are people who judge more than teach.

Watch American Idol tryouts and you see delusional parents with their fat, remedial 25 year old daughters thinking they are going to become famous singers, movie stars and models. No wonder the Democrat party still gets voted in. See my comments at sadbastards.wordpress.com. Scott,
