I agree. This type of lesson can hold a student's attention and provide a positive experience. It would not hurt if after the lesson the teacher added something positive such as the game of chess is all about attacking an enemy and defending ones' king and then spending a bit of time teaching kids the rudiments of chess.
First, please give an example of one market that has ever been free of taxes, laws and regulations. Now that we have the reality that free markets never have and never will exist we can get real.
Although I am no fan of American car companies I am aware that these companies tend to be part of our national defense supply chain. Without them we would not be able to defend ourselves. Then there is the issue of economic ruin for everyone if huge companies collapse. And finally we would have serious tax payer issues if all of these auto workers, many who have their entire working life with one company, lost their pensions and their medical care in retirement.
Even with some safety net programs in our society we still are seeing people taking to crime simply because they can not get work or the jobs don't pay survival wages. This could get really ugly if it gets worse. It is easier to give welfare checks than pay for prison cells for car jackers and home invaders. The right wing has zero reality on this.
Giving benefits to people according to the potential harm that they could do is not right according to me. Bosses that take that attitude might want to consider what harm some low level employee could do with a bomb or guns. The lowest guy in the food chain could easily kill off upper management. So who gives the floor cleaner or the gal Friday a golden parachute? Or is it only financial loss that must be prevented?
Copyright law and the RIAA can both take a flying leap. Who ever suggested that media that is broadcast or put on the net should support businesses of any type in the first place. The net and the air ways are for the people and not for making a living. It is these scabs that are the real thieves!
Was it illegal in Iran for their government to purchase the gear? Surely Nokia - Seimens has international divisions. Are they bound by US law when all of the elements of a transaction are conducted outside the US?
I'm not suggesting that it was not an evil deed to sell this gear to the government of Iran but whether it was actually illegal is entirely another question. And just why did they file suit in the US?
With deflation and more and more people going homeless and pay checks shrinking we actually need slums. Crude shacks can act to lower the cost of better housing.
Also the humanity of the situation is clear. A bum in a cardboard box develops more disease and costs far more money to tax payers than a bum allowed to build a tarp and scrap shack. Keep in mind that children are often involved as well. We need to stop local law enforcement from running off the unfortunate or destroying their make shift shacks.
The other joy of slums is that they do not eat up natural resources. Usually they don't even have electricity. And the recycle everything endlessly. A beer can, stomped flat becomes another roof shingle or even a mini oven for heating a scrap of food.
A society that can not or will not support the unfortunate has no moral right to deprive them of any efforts they make to help themselves.
If we went clear back to 1965 you could attend college classes in astronomy that included the teaching that the sun could not produce as much energy as it does with nuclear reactions without having too short a life span. The calculations of that era suggested that gravity was the most likely source of solar heat generation.
We need to make certain that Microsoft wears a condom because when they are spreading this new found love for Linux we must keep in mind that Microsoft is diseased to the bone!
Lay off 3,000 teachers and blow a half billion bucks on a school building. Jesus Christ! It isn't the kids that need an education it's the School Board and the county government that are completely ignorant and stark raving insane!
What very few people know is that Germany went into WWI due to a fear that capitalism would prevail and create an amoral society. That war went badly. The second world war was created due to a radical fear of socialism or communism taking over Europe. That was the NAZI claim to fame. They were seen as standing against socialism. That also did not work. Kaiser Wilhelm made not secret of the idea that only an aristocracy, above and separate from economic needs, could provide a moral base for society. The democratic thrust involved the idea that if the masses were Christians or at the very least Jews then the moral base was in place in such a way that capitalism would not displace decency and high moral conduct. When the state failed to support Christianity America went into a long spiral of decline. That spiral will end in our demise.
Did they run a credit check before sending help? Things are so perverse now that one town in Florida charges $300. for any request for police help. Got a burglar? That will be $300. Just been raped? That will be $300. and another $2500 for a rape kit which may never be completed before the statute of limitations expires. Better get a Platinum Card just in case you get car jacked or shot.
What excuse is there for Philly to be an economic waste land? If they can not manage their money why grind it out of the innocents' pockets? Does it not occur to anyone that many local governments need to be overthrown? Hell, the next county to me just built a 95 million dollar high school. They are insane. And you can bet that bribes of some sort were in play.
Iran wants nuclear materials in their reactor. We can quickly deliver some really hot nuclear materials right down the chimney of their reactor. One good bomb will certainly correct their thinking in a flash!
There really is a problem. I have found that people stuck in Windows environments consider thinking about a computer to be oh so yesterday. They do not want to know a thing about the PCs that they use and making a change isn't on their minds either.
I notice these issues all the time. For example critical business security is often totally ignored and some intelligent people just do not want to believe that they can be hacked into. I've seen substantial businesses without any form of backup for all of their files and using shareware on various terminals. I've also seen substantial businesses hiring people off of the street that they feel are capable of improving their systems. The idea that they are then at the mercy of the repair guy isn't known to them. In one case a group of lawyers hired a broken down type of fellow to correct their system. The potential for disaster was huge.
The idea that Linux might offer them more security and save them money wasn't even an acceptable thought. They might as well be talking to a man from Mars or something.
Talk about brain washing! The right to bear arms concerns the right to carry them about. That is to bear their weight and burden. So far no court has even confronted that very real issue.
And by the way the founders had killers and loonies walking about and in no way excluded even them from carrying guns everywhere they went.
I would think that online games should keep track of the hours spent in game by a player and shut them down a bit if it is obviously becoming an obsession.
Perhaps the game makers should be held somewhat liable if it is easy to prevent and they know that addiction is a real problem with their product.
Before the spies are done Julian will be accused of the murder of Abe Lincoln and JFK. He might even be accused of stabbing Caesar. The US government can not lie fast enough to get what they want.
And if Julian ever decides to rape someone they should be honored for pleasuring a true hero and freedom fighter!
Their are mentally challenged individuals who have such absurd notions that schools should be run like businesses and that teachers should be paid by performance.
The fact is that that is bullshit. We have absolute proof that the price of the home in which students live is the greatest determinant of success in schools. Schools that draw from rich areas have great students whereas schools that draw from poor areas tend to have very poorly performing students.
I'm not even certain that stalking should be a crime. After all, following a corrupt politician and trying to find out who he associates with and what kind of money he spends is also a kind of stalking. I do understand that young women sometimes have a sexual type stalker making their life difficult but the notion that all stalking is bad is a false one. Think of a parent who knows that one kid in the neighborhood is pushing drugs and wants to find out which one. Doesn't that parent have a right to follow, record and study the neighborhood teens until the one who is dealing is caught? After all, a drug dealer in a school or in a neighborhood is a real threat to the life and health of other kids and the police can not usually root these characters out of the area.
Any property that was excluded from Street View should be photographed in unusual depth and the information should carry a tag that the photo is of someone who has reason to hide. Let the light shine deeply and brightly!
Name changes won't fill the bill at all. With computation reaching a certain point it should be fairly easy to find person A with the same characteristics as person B thus showing that they are one and the same person. Even without images and relying upon data alone it should be easy. For example all females graduating from public high schools in 1985 in Arizona would yield quite a few hits. But add in blue eyes and five feet six inches tall and the group gets smaller. Throw in a 3.7 grade point average and playing clarinet in the school band and you are probably down to a single person. The trick is in having a data base with enough trivia about people that points of comparison can be found. That is getting easier and easier every day.

Win 95 was disgusting. I hated that OS and Win 98 was awful as well. The only thing those OSs ever did was get me to use Linux!

It is time to swat some bugs and sober Iran up a bit.
Iran wants nuclear materials in their reactor. We can quickly deliver some really hot nuclear materials right down the chimney of their reactor. One good bomb will certainly correct their thinking in a flash!
I see no reason to discourage either radical new hardware nor radical new software. It will flower or perish on its own merits.
