It's worth noting that the Society for Pediatric Radiology has had a campaign (http://www.pedrad.org/associations/5364/ig/) called Image Gently for a couple years now to raise awareness of this in the radiology community, and in general the trend us towards doing more with MRIs, especially with children.
Except that much of that money is being spent in poor districts is spent on on bureaucrats, test preparers, disciplinary crap, consultants (oh, god above could I tell you about consultants in education!) and all the other cruft that's not actually educating anyone.
Except the real issue was that feudal and industrial societies can't coexist in the same framework. Look at how poorly integrated into Europe Russia is, which was feudal and absolutist for far longer than the rest of Europe.
Destroying the feudal order of the old South was absolutely necessary to having a functional, modern country. Without the Civil War, or with a sectional conflict that was resolved through compromise and the South being allowed to retain slavery, the US ends up being a backwards, resource-exporting country, rather than a manufacturing center.
Incorrect. Let's look at the example of Chicago. Because there's a giant freakin' lake as the eastern border, it has to spread north-south. So you will, in any train system, end up with something like the Red Line, which runs from the border with Evanston to the far south side. Populations may shift, but you're always going to need mass transit parallel to the lake.
You'll also always have an arterial road going along the lake, but as someone who's been stuck on a bus on LSD due to an accident, let me assure you that bus transit is significantly less robust than train transit.
Actually, a fair chunk of history (and, weirdly, classics) majors end up working in medical research. The ability to write clearly, do research, and synthesize mountains of information are is not to be taken lightly.
Because the influence of cultural systems on humans is greater than the influence of genetics. So any potential variations are swamped by by cultural variations, as seen by, oh, the entire goddamn sweep of human history.
I think that the words "finally" and "less zany" show that it is. They rolled out a half-finished product forcing a dramatic change on their end users. Most people dick around with their settings even in Windows and OSX. Just being taken along or the ride with Unity with the promise that you'll be able to make it do what you want someday is wrong.
You're ignoring, of course, that the American Revolution was elite-driven and designed at cementing the power of the planter and merchant classes. I mean, cool story bro about it not being a majority, but it was a powerful minority, not just a dedicated one.
Because Constitution. Ours is both written and devilishly hard to change. Also, the way we divide powers between state and federal government is byzantine.
Lost earning potential, being passed over by colleges and employers because of a gap in education/employment or a string of mcjobs - not the end of the world, but it'd for serious screw some people over.
Do you believe in the rights of an individual to rise to his potential, or are your beliefs closer to those of Carl Marx?
Why should only the rich and their offspring get to rise to their potential? If you're really interested in allowing an individual to rise to his full potential, you should be doing everything in your power to limit the influence of amassed and inherited wealth.
Or, you'd suddenly see compensation for in-demand fields plummet as there was a glut of applicants for those positions. I don't think that's the answer.
Except the Amendment process is so sclerotic that you can be 100% in favor of whatever you want, it'll never get done. So that leaves you either working stuff in the gaps, or throwing up your hands and going "well, someone will do it!"
This is straying from the topic somewhat, but there are so many veto points in the Constitution-as-written that the only options are things being absolutely sclerotic and unchanging, or having all your federal government functions on shaky or outright extra-constitutional grounds.
Services like welfare, low income housing, helping the poor - these are services that churches and other charity groups have been providing for a long, LONG time. By and large, they've even managed to do a damn good job of it.
Which is why the Victorian era was known for it's high social mobility and lack of squalid, grinding poverty.
I wish people would take more than 5 seconds before replying in these threads to stop and consider what precisely the federal government does better than either private industry or state governments.

If you believe their "poor little innovator" spiel, maybe. If you think Uber is a monopolist-in-waiting, it makes perfect sense.

That's the idea behind anti-monopoly legislation.
Could be both. Professionalization is a two-edged sword.

Because one thing our current president has shown himself to be great at is congressional horse-trading. I mean, I like the guy, but LBJ he ain't.
I'm generally pro-increasing equality, but this comment makes no sense.
At least in the USA, the last two times we let an engineer be president, we got Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter.

Ubuntu provides support for non-free software (proprietary drivers, and the like). Stallman has views on this.
Carly Fiorina and G.W. Bush would both argue against the "wildly successful and looking for a new challenge" theory.
If only we hadn't hounded Nixon out of office! Truly, he is the one man who could bring on the SciFi Utopia!

The several states are much to intertwined to prune the federal government's role in commerce back as far as Paul wants.
