how do you get a job is you can't read and write very good or at all
most (?) young people didn't finish high school. the stats are out there.
they barely can read and write. I'm not exaggerating. nor do they want to learn how.
there isn't any 'up' for these young people. those of us who can read and write are paying the price.
meth use is rampant and doesn't seem stoppable.
cities and states are crumbling as I type this.
prisons are full to the brim.
the neo cons are fighting for private health care.
down and down our country spirals. its depressing.

17. I hate to pile-on, but if you are going to post about illiteracy, it is best to proof-read. nt

19. The grammar and puncuation
mistakes here are staggering in and of themselves.
how do you get a job is you can't read and write very good or at all
should be:
How do you get a job if you can't read and write very well (if at all)?
And it really just gets worse. Isn't irony great.
