“Our flawed little rock” — I may have to steal that line.

Yes, it is confusing. The PDF I’m reading is named “USPSA_BlueprintDraft0507.pdf”. I’ll look around for the new one.

No, on second thought, that is the PDF you’re referring to. I’m not using Adobe to read it. Perhaps it’s a formatting or font issue…

You’re right — it can be scary how many public officials manifest their basic ignorance and “innumeracy.” You read the original proposal, as opposed to our Blueprint (I know, it’s confusing). The Blueprint is about 55 pages long and can be downloaded by clicking on the “Draft Blueprint” tab on the left. We still have a long way to go in terms of fleshing out the curriculum.
