    Lack of empathy has nothing to do with this. We can think it's sad and pity her, but that doesn't mean we're going to tolerate her poor choices being used as an excuse to foist laws and regulations on us.

    interesting factoids that get my down modded by political hacks aside, that is actually a very good idea.

    if you close the carbon cycle by making all combustion fuels biofuels then then all the carbon our cars emit will have been first taken out of the atmosphere. this will allow natural carbon sinks to start removing the excess from the atmopshere and bring us back down to pre-industrial equilibrium.

    not saying we couldn't help speed up the process of removing the excess carbon.

    They demonstrated that if you take dry ice and drop it under several hundred feet of ocean water it stops sublimating. they also loaded it onto an impactor that would drive it into the mud at the bottom.

    Dry ice stays solid if you drop it down the bottom of as little as few hundred feet (maybe less) under ocean water.

    transport it all out to the Marianas Trench and drop it. not going to hypercarbonate the water because it'll stay solid below the right depth [which is reached rapidly if you put them on something that decreases hydrodynamic drag]

    1) Yes NCLB is an excuse to close down public schools - it was designed as such, and they intentionally fabricated a study [exposed as a fraud 2 years later] to get congressional support

    2) Defunding them further with vouchers (most of which would be going to religious indoctrination centers that masquarade as schools) is not a solution

    3) "Failing schools based on geopgrahy" is a problem with two things
          a) How we fund schools [how about pool money state wide and dole out as needed instead of tying funding to their service areas land values.. that kidn of funding arraignment was obviously designed to serve only the rich neighbors]
          b) home lives in disadvantaged areas are more often than not are harmful to getting an education.

    The NEA would CORRECTLY resist #2. They would support repleaing NCLB and getting all schools funded better.
