  1. Re:Texas eh? on Texas Scientists Regret Loss of Higgs Boson Quest · · Score: 1

    I didn't really dislike Clinton, I didn't care much for his policies. Luckily he didn't get to implement many of them. He did make a good sanity check on the republic congress and kept them honest. It was bush no longer providing that sanity check that made the republicans suddenly look bad. Given the opportunity any political party will do massive power grabs. Look at how the health care got rammed through even with massive amounts of resistance.

    That's why my vote will be to keep Obama, but R's down the line for house and senate.

  2. Re:Rim is a good company on RIM CEO: 'There's Nothing Wrong With the Company' · · Score: 1

    Because America is one of the last places on earth where anyone can actually become successful from their own abilities, motivation and ambition. When that doesn't happen they decide it's the system that's screwed them not their lack of those three main ingredients of success. So when someone of success begins to falter and fail it is cheered by the inept as a sort of success.

    Sounds like how public schools run as well. I can't wait for health care to get this good.

    When I want a beer, I don't go to the Library and complain that there isn't enough beer there. (well sometimes I do but not in all seriousness) I don't expect there to be beer in a Library that's what I go to the pub for.

    0 is the absence of value

  14. Re:Beat them don't teach them! on Texas GOP Educational Platform Opposes Teaching Critical Thinking Skills · · Score: 0

    It's crap like this that makes me personally wish we could get rid of the DOE and privatize all schools with vouchers. It is complete BS that people have to put up with public education rather than have a choice of where they can send their kids. If they want some religious nut job school then send them to what ever anti-evolution school they want to send them to. If I want to send my kids to a school that actually thinks for them selves and not some spoon feed crap from the Government then I want to be able to do just that.

    Vouchers are the only legitimate way to fund schools with tax dollars. Anything less is nothing more than a legal entity to funnel money to bureaucrats in the name of "the public good."
