    The tradition of Violet Grey putting down Charlie Brown because his parents did not have the opportunity to attend University while both of her parents have University-Degrees begins.

    Her attitude is better than the rampant anti-intellectualism in America, but not by much. People should strive to better themselves, but be humble. The government should also give all students with a GPA of 3.0 or better a free University-Education:

    The greater taxes these University-Graduate would pay for the program many times over, and every in the country and the country as an whole would benefit.

    We should also stop screwing our veterans out of the GI-Bill:

    I used to be that if one server in the military and gets a general or honorable discharge, Uncle Sam would pay for a University-education. Dick Cheney, when he was Secretary of Defense under the first Bush added an whole bunch of hops through which our veterans must jump to collect the GI-Bill. Because of this, now, only about 30% of honorably dischared veterans qualify for the GI-Bill.

    We should, henceforth, allow all veterans getting either general or honorable discharges to collect the GI-Bill. All veterans screwed out of the GI-Bill should be allowed to collect. We should also ban chickenhawks from public office, voting, or serving in the civil service:

    We have brave soldiers defending this country. We have doves trying to maintain peace, or when conflicts arise, find a way to end them before to many people die. Then we have chickenhawks:

    Chickenhawks are all for war, as long as somebody else does the fighting, killing, and dying. They are chickens when it comes to protecting themselves, but hawks with tye lives of others. Dick Cheney is a chickenhawk:

    Dick Cheney was all for the war in Vietnam —— as long as someone else fought it. He refused to fight..

    If we ban chickenhawks from political office, voting, and the civil service, that means that tens of millions of Young Republicans who were all for the War in Iraq, as long as someone else fought it, will disenfranchised. That is fine by me.

    ¡Doves and hawks are good, but chickenhawks are scum!

    If we ban people with poor spelling, punctuation and grammar skills from voting, that means some Internet soap-boxers will be disenfranchised. That is fine by me.

    As CB would say, “Good grief!” (TL;DR)
