It disturbs me when Obama says in the State of the Union address that he wants to make dropping out of school at 18 illegal because people learn differently and before there are forms of learning for every type of person in the world we shouldn't be condemned for leaving.
Certainly anyone whom I've witnessed who has gone through something horrible and life-changing has a sense of ironic humor or an ability to look at the peculiarities of the world and find humor in it.
