I don't blame the USA exactly. To say I disapprove of my government's policies would be a gross understatement. I am appalled in the face of the government, and ashamed in the face of the rest of the world.

I call out to you, in brotherhood.

Is it not universal that a few control the masses through various means of oppression? It is true here in the USA as well, except we pretend that it is not true here, in our 'uniquely great country'.

But some of us know the truth, well maybe not the truth exactly but we know that it is a lie.

I got this importing as few as a couple thousand rows on a shared host. This created duplicates the next time I tried to import the file. Then I try and find duplicates, but it won't find any. Turns out it was looking for equal email addresses to match duplicates, and rows without email addresses (all of them), but matching "First Name" and "Last Name" did not match each other. NULL != NULL was the problem.

Elementary school really defined a lot of my baggage that I would carry for a lot of my life.

Primarily, I was a high performer in class and remember being very competitive with these math quizzes we were given. Everyone in the class would be given a test, it was short, 60 seconds or a couple minutes maybe, and if you completed it then you moved on to the next one, if not the next time we did it you would keep the same one and try again. In my class of about 30 kids, I believe I was always ahead.

I don't remember my Kindergarten teacher's name, but I do remember I had the morning class and another group of kids came in the afternoon.

I remember very little of then. Three things come to mind which are all pretty hazy. I remember needing to learn to count to 100, and thought it was incredibly clever to say 'One, two, skip a few, ninety nine, one hundred.' I also remember being confused as to how counting to 100 could be difficult for the other kids and trying to explain the pattern.
