Would you vote for Sarah Palin based solely on her towering intellect?

I do not want her to be the GOP nominee. The .00005% chance that she could win is too high for me. Can you imagine the four years following her election? It would be apocalyptically bad.

Obscene drop out and flunking rates in public schools...why?

Instead of public schools concentrating on actually educating our kids, they have turned into a propaganda political machine, that stifles learning, even to the point of removing history from text books and re-writing it. Students have to be taught what's true, or the aren't learning at all.

Is it possible to fail in life? will i always be a failure?

Dear Lildreamer, by reading your question over and over again I realized that you are of a above average intelligence and because you worry of such things makes you a good hearted person. You shouldn't listen to what everyone says and keep trying your best. Don't heed the ill minded voices that try to discourage you and do not drop out of High School. Prove to them all that you will not be what they think you'll be and live your own life based on what you want to do, not what others say you can do. I really hope that my advice helps you. Best wishes, Sin

What are some typical jobs most male high school dropouts are eligible to do?

Take a typical guy who never finished high school. What kinds of legitimate jobs do most of these guys do for a living--particularly as they get older, have kids and raise families? I don't mean part-time fast food service jobs, which are actually mainly performed by teenagers already in school.
