Oh my goodness! And a Democrat enhanced it and added a bunch of just as bad shit. But oooh, it's all the Republican's fault whilst the Democrats are angels.
You really need to see a counselor about your lack of ability to see reality.
NEVER stop caring. Just be aware we are at the point where all we can do is say nothing.
Me? I'm in my early 50s and I decided when I was ELEVEN that I didn't like the way the world was going and I wasn't going to have children. Good thing I married a woman who couldn't have any.
The reason why is because our culture is so focused on individual identity, we don't like the idea of a central government being too powerful, and we also seem to have a big distaste for socialism (again, actual socialism, not welfare.)
But these traits you describe, are rising more and MORE in the US, accelerating at an alarming rate as viewed by a number of folks.
The Federal Govt IS too powerful and centralized, the Fed has ovetaken the power of the states left and right (where constitutionally power is supposed to reside).
The pride and promotion of individualism has been diluted left and right...the "social justice" is a component of that, everyone is equal...everyone gets a trophy for just participating, let's not praise Johnny for excellence, as that it might cause self esteem issues for Julie....it starts off little, but we're seeing the promotion of the individual in not only something not really to be promoted, but in some ways actually shunned.
And we have a full blown, self-proclaimned socialist Bernie Sanders, gaining popularity in the poles, and a recent poll of liberal Democrat voters in Iowa self identifying as socialist, not capitalists.
Frankly, I think Obama can't stand America's traditional values of individualism, freedom, and self reliance, which is why his motives ARE to fundamentally move the US away from its former ideals and societal fundamentals.
The funniest thing is EVERYONE who lives in North, Central, or South AMERICA is an AMERICAN.
I am a citizen of the USA -- but 99% of the population can't imagine calling themselves anything but 'Americans.'
I'd suggest calling ourselves 'yanks' but I daresay everyone south of the Mason-Dixon line would object.
He not only let it go forward he pushed, and got, its expansion.
The leftist useful idiots don't realize that their side is compromised. The rightist useful idiots don't realize their side is compromised.
And this is what most American companies have done. They look on the web and find a China (or elsewhere) made tool for almost nothing and buy it. The US offices only have marketeers in them. God forbid anyone here in the US know anything practical!
And all these things were expanded under Obama, and the NDAA signed under Obama, and TPP pushed under Obama.
Tell me again how Democretins are different than Republicidiots?
It's because a Democrat is in power. When the Republicans are in power, the Democrats argue for civil liberties. When a Democrat is in power, they trample all over the constitution and none of them care.
Republicans, for some truly bizarre reason, don't seem to care.
Well, let's see, maybe he'll push a big trade deal that'll drain more jobs out of the US. No, that's Obama. Maybe he'll expand NSA spying. No, that's Obama. Maybe he'll sign laws that make indefinite detention of anyone without charge legal? No, that's Obama.
Now, tell me how Trump is worse?

My point was that to discuss that these courses are for homeschooled K-12 kids is just ridiculous. They are college courses.
Bullshit. http://www.nelp.org/content/up...
I thought that I was the only one who saw it this way!

Exactly!
MIT is a business whose goal is to make money. If they could figure out how to do it, they would in a heartbeat.
These look like post-secondary school courses. So, bzzzt, thanks for playing.
You've just explained why half of the USA (and probably most other advanced countries) population is on antidepressants.
Don't forget Obama and his love of TPP and TISA.
So he'll get a PhD and be burned out before he begins his career. Sweet.
It was so people"felt safe" and would continue shopping.

There, I fixed it for you.

And all this assumes that the spying agencies aren't in bed with the ISPs, etc.

No, he's a self serving idiot, rather like Mrs. Clinton, though perhaps more honest.

I shan't hold my breath :)
No doubt. It's called 'deterrence' and it does exist for a good reason.
Not all of them. Mine was made in Japan. But it's a 13,000 dollar car which couldn't be made here - it was made with robots, I suspect.
