  1. Really? REALLY? You actually claim this? Amazing.

  2. No. It was the sovietizing of the school system. Kruschev told the US the USSR would never engage in war with us as they couldn't win in an all out confrontation. Instead they would 'change us from within.' We've now had more than sixty years of rot in schools. "It doesn't matter what two plus two is. How do you FEEL about the answer?"

    Because science now depends entirely on public funding, it is absolutely political. This means it is less useful - because it depends on the winds of politics. Perhaps the worst thing the USA did was break up AT&T. The Bell System made telecom expensive - but a lot of the money was funneled into basic research that has produced most of the tech we take for granted today - and even if the manufacturing wasn't there in the 1960s and 1970s - the ideas WERE. Now, not so much.

  7. Not the ones I've met. I'm neither Salvation Army nor LDS but those are two groups of extremely charitable individuals. That doesn't jive with either mean, or bitter, though they both have ideas I find somewhat odd.

  8. Since Mr. Nye is a Leftist, this further demonstrates your point.

    You're engaging in the same generalizations that you decry in others. Lovely, eh?

    Hear, hear. Conflict is one thing. But we have a nation that seems to think that conflict is wonderful, magnificent, and something to strive for all the time; continuous sarcasm, bickering, backbiting, evilness. You can disagree and not be uncivilized. As for the boomers retiring and millennials - what on earth does conflict have to do with that?

    No. The boomers are NOT retiring if you look at the demographics of what age groups are employed. The folks who have no work are young people.
