I was going to post the full text but it is probably a bit excessive, so I will link it.  Please take the time to read it completely, and give it time to sink in.  It is unfortunate that all school kids aren't expected to know this inside and out before they graduate.

Of course I will probably get blasted for posting such un-American non-sense.
