I'm guilty as charged.   Hehe, You're on target there.  I do the same thing
and I know this keyboard has had a few too many kids pounding on it, grin. 
The mail and message reader I normally use does not support automatic
spell-check or correction either.

The message content did push my hot button.   I do not believe the fault in
the school system is the teachers, I believe it is in a number of other
places, including the home and in the administrative overhead that is
present in that profession, just as it is a problem in my own. I do believe
some of the wrong things are being pushed to fix the problem too. As far as
the tax thing goes, I believe that one is hopelessly screwed up - the
richest people in this country pay a disproportionately low amount of
taxes, and large corporations get breaks that individuals and small
businesses do not. 

We don't have govenment resprresentation that addresses the interests of
the majority of the people - we have one that caters to the interests of
big business.  (When was the last time a middle class guy got to be
president???) These are the causes that corporations are allowed to begin
and grow in this country, and the businesses leave it when they are tagged
to trade some of the success to give something back to the communities and
the country.  I'm not for wasteful spending.  I'm for empowering people who
can fix things.
