The End of an Era

We learned this week that the U.S Congress is ending its House page program in which high school students served to run errands and relay messages and paperwork. It was stated that with today technology of cell phones, palm pilots, Twitter, and other electronics communication, the work of pages had really become obsolete.

The discontinuation of the use of pages will reportedly save over $5 million annually. The bad news is that a long-standing tradition has ended. The good news is that we will no longer be subjecting our nation's youth to the immature buffoonery that is the U.S. Congress.
