Failing Our Geniuses
saintlupus writes "Time has an interesting article about the failure of the US educational system to properly deal with gifted students. For example, up to ten times as much money is spent nationwide on educating 'developmentally disabled' students as gifted ones. Does No Child Left Behind mean that nobody can get ahead, either?"

You mean His core message wasn't about denying choice to women and rights to gays?

Really? I'll remember that the next time I'm lining up to pay taxes to this fascist state.
I feel great as long as I don't have to interact with any of these morons or watch the news. Unfortunately however, these assholes do engage in repeated and frequent acts of violence against me. They call it voting. Democracy is the tyranny of the stupid so eventually, these people are going to invade your home with the barrel of the gun as soon as it suits their interests (see: socialism).
I don't see how your philosophy helps that situation since they are still invading my home and robbing and raping me by violence (I think the word they use for this is government).
No matter how far you tuck your head in the sand, you're still not going to change a thing. If you want to live in a fantasy world that's certainly your prerogative, but I can tell you reality is going to come crashing in the first time you have to fill up the tank of your car with gas or some douche bag red neck comes riding down your street on his Harley Davidson.
The only solution that would make me feel any better about this is:
1. Being reinserted into the matrix which would mean I would have to be as dumb as everyone else
or
2. Receive more benefits from the government than are stolen from me so that I wouldn't feel like I am being robbed.
Option one is out since my parents were not related and I can't really stomach the taste of gasoline or glue.
In order for option 2 to be valid, I would have to be a billionare, in which case, I could probably be like Oprah and Rupert Murdoch and find enjoyment by having 300 million mindless slaves at my disposal.
