Couple of points.......

1. Hardly Anonymous - the From: header clearly states my name.
2. In the US, kids "graduate" from high school. Kids talk of their "high
school graduation" - there is no implication that they are degreed (Hint:
read the posting *VERY* carefully), but they are still considered to be
"graduates".
3. What bearing does your employer have on this at all?
4. I see you make no comment on the main direction of the post, but choose
to jump on something petty. How ridiculous.
5. It may be an interesting take by someone from afar, but please do bear in
mind that a higher proportion of people outside the US are aware of the
world around them than those in the US......
