Did you know that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) wasn't discovered until 1968 and even then wasn't widely believed until years later? This explains so much considering nearly every adult I "dealt" with in my youth (teachers, administrators, and church leaders) were born well before the acceptance of this phenomenon. Hmmm... I always knew the adults I encountered in my adolescence were far inferior in intelligence.

Minnesota, un-American.
