Just ate breakfast and its 2:02 PM

Obsolete is the word I'm looking for. I use cursive to sign checks and for credit cards. If I had to write full papers in hand-written cursive, I would kill myself. Now going into my fourth year of college, I can recall sitting in my fifth grade classroom, writing a short essay in cursive. IN PENCIL. I've recently heard talk that educators are debating whether or not to continue the teaching of cursive writing. In America, we could definitely spend more time teaching something else more useful. The time spent in second grade learning cursive could have been spent learning how to effectively privatize your Facebook profile. So any technologically inclined pedophile couldn't be made aware of the location of your next little league game through a simple status. I digress. I rarely use cursive....or pencils. Screw pencils.  OH YEAH.  Pilots can still use cursive.  They need to know it, because they always are skywriting with the visible exhaust.  If pilots didn't know cursive, we wouldn't have all these clever messages in the sky mostly seen in cartoons.  Still, its much needed.
