    If you want a job, you also have to be able sell the notion that you'll be an excellent choice for the company. If you can't do that, degrees and certifications mean nothing. Reputation is useless unless you've made a major name for yourself in your industry, otherwise nobody at your hoped-for employer will have even heard of you.

    In the early US, voting rights were dependent upon property ownership, on the theory that only those with a vested interest in civilization would vote in a manner that preserved and advanced civilization. The idea that "Men received voting rights because of conscription" is theoretically and historically wrong.

    You mean those you voted for?

    Federal judges are not elected by the general populace.Nor is anyone else, except for members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and (indirectly) the President and Vice President. That leaves three million unelected and mostly unaccountable.

    when exactly did scientists make more than non-scientist celebrities?

    Invalid comparison. A celebrity is somebody who has already succeeded so grandly that he's received widespread recognition. More valid comparisons would be

    • scientists vs. poets
    • scientists vs singers
    • scientists vs secretaries
    • scientists vs accountants
    • etc. to the point of tedium

    Common Core standards are mind crippling. The math is loony, teachers hate it and it slows down the students and discourages them. It's worse even than that older fad, "New Math". History is deficient and warped, focusing on minor characters with little impact while ignoring some of the founders.

    It seems Bill Gates is getting what he wants from the money he put into it.

    Schools should have a on-site nurse.

    Full time? You certainly know how to waste money. Do churches have full-time nurses? Train stations? Walmarts? Sears? Do you really need someone always there to make sure the kiddies have immediate medical attention when they spontaneously combust?

    And there should be a couple of administrators.

    For a school with under about 500 students, ONE principal, no secretary. Some teacher gets a little extra pay for also being vice-principal.

    By their junior year in high school everyone should have rebuilt a simple four-cycle engine,

    You are delusional. Not one person in a thousand needs that hands-on training; it's a waste of time and resources.

    in the US our education system is horribly underfunded and under supported

    Want to earn a lot more than the median working income? Get paid to educate just five children at the median cost for public school education. Public schools take more money per pupil than some colleges, and waste at least half of it (and poison the students' minds while they're at it).

    Government is the root of many problems. Allowing only people who have been exposed to the corrupting influence of government to vote, is to greatly worsen the lot of the general public and those who despise government policies in particular.

  19. Oh, you can show that those who voted were customers of a ride-sharing service, or of taxis? If not, they weren't consumers in this context.

    "The public will" and "the law" are two distinct concepts, that agree only by coincidence. Neither has any necessary connection to justice.

  22. Take note: Austin is the liberal city in Texas. Another example of which political direction opposes freedom.

  24. She screwed up, but the lack of intent...

    Hillary is a grand master of malice and corruption. Assigning "lack of intent" to her is not blindness, but a refusal to see.
