What has our culture wrought?

Perhaps we ought to define education. According to G. K. Chesterton, “Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.” So what have we learned over the last 50 years? What has our culture wrought? Yes, you guessed it - ignorance. America’s soul has become lazy, uninquisitive, passive and thus morally compromised. If the Corps of Engineers during the Civil War, in July 1863, would construct an 800 foot long, timber Chatahoochie Bridge, 100 feet high in 41/2 days - ask yourself how many years the incomplete Sept. 11th Twin Towers Ground Zero memorial has been in the making?
