Was there a nuclear accident around here about 13 years ago?

Hello again!

I have a theory; there was a widespread release of nuclear material around here about 13 years ago, very hush-hush, of course, and it affected the unborn children of that generation in ways unfathomable and, physically, inperceptible.

Why do I think this? Several reasons. This generation of kids, starting last year, has little or no common sense. They have brains that they are not being challenged to use. They have no work ethic, and they have strange maladies that are used as excuses for all of the above. If I hear "ADHD" as an excuse for poor academic performance one more time, I think I'll scream! Ma'am, your kids not as ADHD as he is L-A-Z-Y!!! Not only that, but many more times the norm are kids with hearing deficits, seeing deficits, some sort of physical malady that prevents normal ambulation, or some off the wall thing or another that just prohibits normal activity. It's a freakin' epidemic! Something must have been released, or added to the water, or something. Too much strangeness going on for any other explanation!

I was talking to my buddy across the hall awhile ago. She told the story or how one of our hatchling ducks was allowed to perish because it was not strong enough to free itself of its shell. It was decided that it would always be the weak one; it would be picked upon, starved, and would perish in any case. She was sad about it, but I explained that it is nature's way. Natural selection prevents defective genes from being passed to future generations by weeding out the sick or defective in the species. The human animal does not do this, however. We are compassionate, defending those who are less able. What's the outcome? Defective genes are passed on!

Am I advocating genocide? Of course not! I AM trying to explain why, all of a sudden, we seem to be getting an overflow of kids who are incapable of performing up to expectations. Is that the answer? I don't know, but I guess its as good as anyone else's guess!

I think I'll stick with the nuclear accident theory. Not as plausible, but easier to stomach.
