    what relevance did Ohio's economy have on what I said in the first place? I was simply replying to his comment. but you must be from Ohio as well because only a moron would have not been able to catch that.

    well, to me, having some control bars being radioactive is better than just spewing the radioactive particles into the air for people to breath, just like coal power plants do. but then what you see can't hurt you right mr moron?

    I would like to point out that the Economy was starting a correction cycle back near the end of 2000.... AKA the good old days before Bush.

    the economy had hit the official definition of recession in the summer before the attacks (those two quarters prior to the attacks made it a recession)

    the terror attacks hurt an already weak economy, drawing out the pain of a recession even longer because we had a flat period in growth from then till about the next summer, after which the economy grew a tiny bit per quarter. it was not until last year that the economy began to really start to sizzle.

    it is to bad though that so many people were put out of work because CEOs needed more money.

    he was complaining about ambient noise.

    and if he does not like the ahhs and ums, then perhaps he should take his hand off the signal key to tell the computer to not listen.

    OS X has really good system wide integration for Voice commands. and the voice interpreter is pretty good for one that comes with the OS, but I could not get it to work consistently....

    other than that I thought it was cool to say "computer give me brad's number" and it would display my buddy brad's phone number on the screen :-) (when it worked)

    Geeze, the HD TV in the US suffered from this problem, and now HD DVD formats wars are going to cost the consumer.

    I say go with Blue-Ray because of the cool scratch resistant coating.

    If you cannot construct a sentence properly, then you cannot construct a paragraph either.

    Your reasoning skills also seem to be lacking due to your Home schooling.

    well, when citizens vote to approve a bond issue for their local board of education the feds have very little to say and have almost no leverage like they do with state government.

    if I were you I would start a campaign against the crooks that are there.

    No. The secret to success in life is knowing when to punctuate your sentences. the reason that punctuation is the key to success is that you do not come off looking like a moron.

    I hate english, however, I can construct a paragraph.

    are you misunderstanding teaching FOR the test with teaching TO the test?

    Teaching FOR the test teaches the concepts that the students need to pass the exam that is beneficial...

    teaching TO the test teaches the kids in ways that display questions in the form that they will be asked and types of questions that can be found on the test. that's not beneficial to students all it does it teach them how to solve a small set of situations using a tool.

    like teaching a child to add by always giving them one kind of question format and one kind or two kinds of situations does not teach them adding... it teaches them how to solve the problems that fit the circumstances that you presented them with in school.
