Okay...Ever see the movie on HBO called "Teaching Peter"? It's a documentary about a little boy with downs syndrome. Peter could be confused with being retarded. In fact I'm not sure that the two things are any different. Anyways they decide to have an experiment and throw him in with other kids his age, which happens to be 3rd grade. I guess little retarded boys like to wrestle. He ends up kicking some other little boy in the head. And he is always trying to hit somebody in the head with his lunch box, or lick them or generally kick the shit out of them. The teachers do little commentary on Peters progress. But I think the teacher might be borderline retarded too. As well as Peters parents... This leads me to think that America is on the fast track downhill. I don't think kids like Peter should survive.. I'm not being mean, I just think that perhaps it'd be better for him if he wasn't put through a life living as he is. Call me sick and fucked up..whatever....
