Some time ago PlazaJen posted a link to a political advertisement discussing the sad state of our education system. Having a child currently in this system makes this subject very important to me, so I replied with my thoughts about the system. Reader “Lance” responded with the following passage:

If you are aware more than Democrats are at fault for our mess of an education system, why single them out? And the reason people get hauled away for speaking to children is because we, the people of this country, have allowed it and things like it to happen. It didn’t happen overnight. It has slowed changed over decades. Any change for the better will not be quickly gained either. And if you really want change, start with you. Do it right by teaching your children the important lessons in life–respect, courage, decency, trust and obedience. Then once you have that in line, go to your local school. Be the squeaky wheel and demand change. Remind the school system they work for you and your tax dollars. Push them to set higher standards, provide more programs for any needed areas, and to put learning above state mandated curriculum. Recruit other parents and soon-to-be parents to join your cause. And while you’re doing this, talk to your state representatives. Again, remind them they work for you, not the other way around. Push them to lead our government to evaluate the current education system and start from the ground up to get it right. If we all did something, anything, things would be different. Instead, we wallow in the attitude of “can someone else do something to fix this?” Be different.

This is an example of what I like to refer to as “wordy bullshit” which is a passionate-sounding collection of words that doesn’t have any practical meaning. I often run into things like that on other blogs but this time I had an idea. Why not make it easier for people like Lance to compose these passages from a predefined set of keywords. Similar programs already exist but I thought Lance used a typical set of words, so I created my own project.

Not too many people know that I graduated “with distinction” from the UMKC state-famous Computer Science program. In order to create my new soon-to-be patented Blog BS Generator I had to learn another programming language and spend a considerable amount of time (of which I have tons) in front of my laptop. I hope you’ll appreciate the effort. Of course, special thanks go to Lance for inspiration and the batch of BS he so generously supplied.
Enjoy!
