There's many more like him. And there's another political villain called "Three face" - he's a Conservative, then a Liberal, and then a Centrist.
OK. Being groggy on a Sunday morning and reading your post, I got hung up on the 'KSC' for a couple of minutes - and consider our advertising saturated society. I was thinking "KSC" ???
Not to mention that they're playing the North Korean game of "let's talk" / "we're not talking to you anymore" / "let's talk" / "we're not talking to you anymore" with the UN.
Be glad - I googled hard for implied Godwin and couldn't find anything. So you're lucky and I can't say any pedantic shit about your comment and Godwin.
Then there are teachers like my sister who pulls in close to $70K per year, gets a $3,000 raise when she completes teacher training programs in the Summer, and has this incredible pension with TIAA CREF paid for by the school system that guarantees that she'll retire as a millionaire.
My mother was a book-keeper for a school district and as a result was able to get the same benefits as the teachers. She has absolutely no problems with money in her retirement, now and she isn't exactly a frugal person to put it lightly.
In my financial planning class, we were shown stats that showed that teachers are the tops when it comes to people who retire as millionaires.
If you start teaching at the age of 22 right out of college and stick with it for 30 years (retire at 52), you'll be set for life - nice comfortable life. The first couple of years suck in terms of apy, though. But after you get over that hump, you're making a nice living. Looking back now, I kind of wish I did that.
Either your mother is in a very shitty school district, or you're not telling us the whole story.

I had a chemistry teacher as an undergrad who played football (American kind) in college. He said his adviser gave him a hard time because "chemistry majors shouldn't play football".

I don't find the politicians as disgusting as the morons who buy into the rhetoric; which unfortunately, they have enough sway to set the tone of politics in this country.
Fired and I didn't deserve it? I'd GIVE them a lawsuit.
Employers can always find a reason for just cause for termination - always.
Ever wonder why performance reviews are fucking ridiculous and you can never meet all of your "benchmarks"?
And I can tell you this, even if you win the lawsuit after years of litigation and subsequently being unemployed because of it, you will at most get a couple of years of salary (most going for attorney's fees) and you will be forever unemployable because there's a database that tracks that kind of stuff. I asked my biz law instructor (employment lawyer in Atlanta).
It's the same for hiring - they can always find a reason not to hire you.
Oracle has destroyed reputation of any "Java" derived effort, also read Stallman's "The Javascript trap". Could we just move on to something better, more free and less trademark or patent eclipsed ?

That sucks. And you have a child with the disorder.
But what about all the other children who are diagnosed? Isn't it strange that the diagnosis has increased dramatically in the last few years? And with children sucking down 20oz Cokes (Sugar AND Caffeine) with little exercise, it's no wonder many of them are bouncing off the walls. And when you have arm chair doctors making the diagnosis putting pressure on MDs for a pill - especially if they're being threatened to have their kids expelled...
I can tell you from personal experience that the diagnosis isn't exact - it's very subjective. One doc (MD) will tell you one thing, a PhD will say another. Mental health issues are a real pain in the ass to get nailed down. We also live in a culture that wants quick fixes - i.e. gimme a pill to make it better.
Here's something a relative who was diagnosed ADHD by two different docs wanted for his son who was also diagnosed: no medication even though he was getting a lot of pressure to put him on something (it wasn't Ritalin which surprised me).Granted, the kid wasn't a severe case - so, forgive me if your child has a severe case of ADHD
Here's why.
He learned to deal with it because he never knew he had it - he was in his mid-forties and got through school (BS Chem E. GA Tech) before educators thought every little boy had it. He wanted his son to learn to do the same thing.Being ADHD was part of who he was.
He was diagnosed when he boy was. It's a long story.
So many children, other than your son, are probably missed diagnosed, need to lay off the Cokes, and probably have other issues but are diagnosed with ADHD to make the adult's lives easier.
Or the used markup. By book from student - only if it's the current edition - for less than $10 and then sell it to another student for more than $40 sometimes higher. 400% markups.
You know, we can clean up a lot of drug violence if we took textbooks, eyeglass frames, hearing aids and batteries, and other products with obscene mark-ups and say, "Hey homies! You want to make some real money? Lookie here!"

No. You're an "Apple Hater". Apparently, you have this irrational belief that Apple consumers are sheep and will buy anything that has an Apple logo on it and pay any price. You will point to the long lines of people who wait through the night and say "See, they're a bunch sheep! WTF are they doing?! It's not like Apple will have a limited run or something. Apple will pump this shit out by the millions and never stop!"
But you're a hater. Face it.
You'll point out all the years on/. where any post critical of Apple was modded down to -1 regardless of the merits of the comment. Why stating that Apple products sold for a premium without any real reason was an automatic "-1 Flamebait" with dozens of comments following explaining your error and if you did a one on one comparison of features Apple wasn't that bad. Pointing out that you had no need for half of the features would be an automatic "-1 Troll" and the obvious responses of "Well Apple isn't right for you!" that would then get modded "+5 Insightful" or "Informative"
Then feeling horribly picked on (rightfully so) you post that Apple stole their UI from Xerox.
The Apple fanbois immediately bring out their Apple branded pitchforks and put on their combat black turtlenecks (AH! Those black turtlenecks are really part of their commando uniform) and before impaling you, inform you that Apple made it workable, beautiful and Holy! Infidel!
