Modern high school is one big paradox. Todays student rushes through only trying to do enough to scrape buy a passing grade, counting down the days before they leave high school. They rush through wishing they were older, until one day they realize that they are now grown adults who have to face the troubles of the world.
Students also don't see how high school is important. While they are in school they can't see how uderstanding paradoxs or algebraic formulas are worth learning about. But the minute they enter college they wish they had paid more attention in school.

Icons
The American flag is probably the most recognizable icon on the planet. No matter where we go in the world there will be an American flag. We have flags flying in every town in our country and a flag in every other country.
It's really hard to say what the flag is a symbol for, because everyone sees it as something differant. Some might say the flag stands for freedom and some might say that it stands for oppression, but either way you look at it there is an American flag everywhere on this planet (it's even on the moon). Regardless of what the flag stands for it is recognized all over the world. Even those who say that America is spreading evil and trying to conquer & destroy the Earth have to addmit that the flag is rcognized by people on every continent.
The strange thing about me writing this is that I'm not really a huge supporter of America. Don't get me wrong, America is a whole lot better then most of the other places in the world, but we have reall screwed up in the past. Anyways what I think I'm trying to say is that even though I'm not an uber patriot, I still believe that the American flag will always be the most recognized icon in the world.

Quotes
"There's more stupidity then helium in the universe and it has a longer shelf life"
-Frank Zappa
"What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding"
-Elvis Costello
These quotes are both incredably true. Both of these artists are very insiteful and I admire both of them. Generaly I don't really like to quote other people, but sometimes a thought is so perfectly worded that I don't really have a choice.
