Using Video CDs For Education

Phil Shapiro writes: "Video CDs offer one of the lowest-cost ways of distributing training and instruction. They can be duplicated much faster than VHS videotapes, the media is much cheaper and the postage costs are much cheaper. Learn how and why we ought to be exploring the educational potential of this new media."

Re:OT: Michael Newdow

I think that it's michael's injury, not his daughter's, but the injury to him (as an athiest) is that his daughter has been brought up 'indoctrinated' in a pledge of alegience that forces people to honor a god that he doesn't believe in.

His beliefs (or lack thereof) are irrelevant. His ex-girlfriend (they were never married) has primary custody, so their daughter is to be raised as she sees fit and he has no right to interfere.

Michael Newdow used his daughter so that he would have standing to bring his case to court. We now know that his case was brought forward under false pretenses. If he coached (coerced?) his daughter to say something in court that she doesn't believe is true, that is subornation of perjury. His own misrepresentation of his daughter's "injury" ought to count as perjury by itself. IANAL, but if I'm not mistaken, an officer of the court (such as a lawyer) who lies and/or twists the truth in court is usually regarded as a Very Bad Thing. For lying to the court, Michael Newdow ought to be disbarred.
