Written Off

I was reading an AARP magazine and came across an interesting article titled "Going, Almost Gone, Gone". It was about things in the lives of the over 50's generation that are fading away. One of them was Cursive. A word that most of us have not heard in years and the rest of us do not know. Anyone under thirty has no idea that it relates to handwriting and not foul language. The article said that most school districts are eliminating teaching cursive and that in the future they might have to have it as an independent course. The course would be taught to people that want to have the skill to read historical documents like the Declaration of Independence. Imagine a country that can no longer have the ability to read its own doctrine. Mind boggling.
