Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

America breeds misfits. These people sit in the back of the classroom and laugh. Then they grow up and invent things that no one else imagined.

Part of the genius of America is that we breed misfits. These persons sit in the back of the classroom. Some of them laugh all day at the teacher. Some of them have headaches all day in the classroom and lay their head on the desk until they can go home.

These misfits grow up and spread out across the country. They awake one day to find themselves in the Army, in college, in tech companies, in law, in business, in entertainment, in everywhere.

They create (among other things):

• Apple
• Google
• comic book
• music
• satellites
• Autonomous vehicles  (air, ground, underwater)
• football
• surf boards
• slam dunk contests
• skateboards
• Mickey Mouse
• Rock n Roll
• Coca Cola
• split finger fastballs

God bless America.
