niggardly
People have such terminally short memories.
There is a now old argument that my generation may be the first to do worse than it's parent's. (this was before the 1990s of course). But it seems to me the children would be a lot better off if it weren't for such ignorant parents.

Don't screw up your bicycle chain or you will piss off all of China.
A channel 17 Sunday morning talking heads discussion program took the obvious slanted position that a teacher was wrong in teaching the word niggardly in class. Another word could have been taught was the position taken by one of the clown hosts. Let's see, it was ok to discuss it on television, but not in the classroom. That makes a lot of sense. Let's censor education.
