  4. Re:Learning? on Textbooks With EULAs · · Score: 1

    Don't forget, the hiring boards may be composed of "unqualified" students.
    Also, many people can contribute to a university education. The guy who gave change for the vidio games was very interesting. Never finished high school, but had been in the armed forces for several years. Very well travelled, and provided very good insights into other "cultures" that weren't covered by those who taught and did research.
    Another, a "lowly" janitor in one building, was invaluable in her counselling and good cheer.

    ...and you trust the people that determine who is qualified? And how they quantify qualifications? And you feel safe in assuming that non-qualified people can't contribute?
    I've met many "qualified" people upon whom an education was apparently wasted.

    >>Are there guidelines published somewhere that say when I should start acting against a government when it has become too insane? I'd like to know, other wise I'm forced to make it up.
    Try starting with...
    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security -- Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. -- The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
