Being a sys admin might seem like a good idea, but do you want to spend your entire life in the same line of work? A college education will give you a broader base of knowledge and skills from which you can pursue other careers and interests, the credential is pretty useful as well. If you're interested in computers/technology I recommend you study computer science (my beloved major) any type of engineering or mathematics. Being a systems administrator is a decent job, but it doesn't allow you to explore the horizons of new ideas, it's also socially dry and professionally limiting. My orientation towards formal education is biased by my profession, I'm a high school teacher. It's possible to be successful without education, but going to college makes the path more easy and probable.
This doesn't mean they didn't get the shaft. In the pursuit of protecting itself the US government will trample your rights. The modern hunt for Islamic 'terrorists' isn't too different from the 1950's hunt for communists, only now this sort of thing is done more discreetly and doesn't target white people. Don't forget, radical muslims target America because the US government is an imperialist power in the Arab (middle eastern) world.
I'll be interested to see if this ISP ever gets its hardware back...
WJB wanated a bi-metalic standard (gold and silver) in order to allow the fed to print more money, inflate the dollar and consequently help endebted farmers, the "Cross of Gold" was just a catchy slogan which appealed to agrarian Christians.

Talk of consipracy theory and aliens distracts attention away from real concerns presented by the operation of area 51 which is a black budget military facility meaning its operations are accountable and known only to The Pentagon and the President. Unlike the CIA or NSA which have Congressional oversite committies (and still manage to be global thugs), the US military can do whatever it likes at Area 51, this includes illegal activities, most noteably the disposal of highly toxic & illegal substances.
