(12,051 posts)How superficial, how low-information, how banal. I guess the schools have to do this sort of stuff, and you can't tell little kids that their daddies and mommies are getting hurt and killed for nothing -- but damn, all those ceremonies have made made me want to puke, once I figured out shit in my twenties.
I never even liked high school pep rallies, so I guess I've been a reactionary little bitch for a long time.

Always good to see you, my good friend.
But graduated from Cooley High in Detroit in 66.

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
