NFL hypocrisy

"Let me see if I've got this straight: Tomlin -- a Clinton donor and fundraiser -- is upset that Villanueva was not "respectful of our football team" because he decided to honor the country for which he's courageously risked his life by not snubbing the national anthem? This is the display of 'disunity' that bothers Tomlin? If anyone on that roster has earned the right to do what he did, it's Alejandro Villanueva. ... I start to see red when kneeling through the anthem is celebrated as brave heroism, while a genuine American hero is isolated by his team and obliquely criticized by his coach for standing up for saluting the nation and flag he volunteered to serve. That is infuriating.

The real division seems to be between the league and the sports media on one hand, and sports fans who finance the entire industry on the other -- the vast majority of whom side with Villanueva over the anthem sitters ... setting aside the protesting players' disrespect and self-righteousness, as well as the president's demagogic excesses, the exhausting and relentless politicizing of our culture has become intensely aggravating to me as an American and as a sports fan."

US Troops Take Custody of US Citizen Allegedly Fighting for ISIS | Military.com

“Khweis is not a naïve kid who didn’t know what he was doing,” said Dana J. Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who is also serving as the Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security. “He is a 27-year-old man who studied criminal justice in college. He strategically planned his travel to avoid law enforcement suspicion, encrypted his communications, and planned for possible alibis. Khweis knew exactly what he was doing, knew exactly who ISIS was, and was well aware of their thirst for extreme violence. Nonetheless, this did not deter him. Instead, Khweis voluntarily chose to join the ranks of a designated foreign terrorist organization, and that is a federal crime, even if you get scared and decide to leave. This office, along with the National Security Division and our investigative partners, are committed to tracking down anyone who provides or attempts to provide material support to a terrorist organization.”

don't blame anyone or anything else--your education is your responsibility

don't blame the schools that you did or didn't go to.
don't blame the teachers that you did or didn't have.
don't blame your parents.
don't blame where you live.
don't blame the church that you did or didn't go to.
don't blame the government.
don't say that you're too busy.
don't say that you're not smart enough.
don't say that you don't have enough money.

"The demise of personal responsibility occurs when individuals blame their family, their peers, their economic circumstances, or their society for their own failure to meet standards."

When applied to education, personal responsibility means that students accept the responsibility to study hard and to learn as much as they can in courses that press against the limits of their capacity. For most students, this aspect of personal responsibility means that they must take courses that prepare them for college. Hard work is a must because the single most accurate predictor of college performance is high school grade point average, probably because grades reflect both capacity and hard work. Students who choose not to prepare for college must prepare for the world of work, a goal that also requires strenuous personal effort. Students who do not go to college should enroll in training courses after high school. Without job training, an apprenticeship, or a two-year or four-year degree, most young people are destined to a life of marginal employment and income."  

The Sequence of Personal Responsibility

educating yourself is a lifetime proposition.
as the world around us changes, young and old alike must continue to educate themselves.
learning is part of living.
