Having worked in construction for a couple decades
(concrete, carpenter, electrician, restoration,
project manager), I completely disagree. A skilled craftsman can immediately distinguish between the work of a master vs. a hack job(not good in this sense). And the work of a master, being better
laid out is inherently beautiful, easier to adapt/repair. On construction sites you'll see young guys running around apparently working hard and fast, while the old guy appears slow. But then you notice the old guy never makes a wasted move.And in the end the old guy gets twice as much done at a much higher level of quality.
If it's not ethical for the gov't to fund, how is it ethical for business? Unless I'm mistaken, Bush
didn't rule out businesses from harvesting new stem cells. Seems kinda scary to think the profit motive is the deciding factor.
Basic was an existing programming language when Bill & Paul used $40,000.00 worth of Harvard's computer time to port it to the Altair. How much did thewy pay Basic's creator or Harvard.
I found the first link too expensive, since I am not a member, it would require $10.00 per algorithm....... I'm sure I can do better online, at my local library or at the closest University library. Thanks anyway..... I did find the second link interesting.
How can you understand why things are as they are without history? Those that criticize teachers are rarely good teachers, they don't have the patience for anyone who doesn't see it as they do on the spot. Pay, support and respect teachers as a valuable resource and things will improve. The arrogant say: " those who can, do, those who can't, teach", but the great invariably credit an inspiring teacher.
And I'm sure you were ready at age six to handle that one more year of college rate study. Learning is a skill and like other skills one must start slowly with the basics and build up the skill of academic learning. Or, do you assert that, having had no schooling till age eighteen, you'd have beeen able to pick up the three R's, to the level of a highshool graduate, in one year?

Well, if we can blame it on foreigners, it might convert some global warming deniers.
So, they want to patent the food but not admit it. Sounds like organized crime.
What Myers books are you referring to?
The Glass Bead Game is and will be a classic.

"As We May Think" by Vanover Bush would have to
be at the top of any such list.
