Sentences beginning with the word "also" are considered grammatically correct in U.S. English; however, students of the Queens English should avoid this construct. Furthermore, your sentence cries out for a semicolon after the word "splice" followed by a comma after the word "and." This is because you have two independant clauses joined by an independant marker.

Let the nation laugh at Missouri (or whatever state it was) that wanted to define pi as 3 to make math easier for their students, at all those idiotic Bible-Belt states that insist upon trying to skew the curriculum with their religious dogma, at states that allow public funds to be spent on automobile racing tracks and professional sports stadiums while cutting funding for their school systems, at states that have year on year lowered the standard required to obtain a High School Diploma.
Go to Eastern Europe if you want to see who the US will competing with in Science in not 20 years but 5. Look at their curriculum, and the amazingly high level of general education they achieve with much less.
most of the time china has been one of if not the dominant nation on the planet
This is simply a fallacy. China made little to no inroads into the 'development' of the New World, or Africa which was underway well before the last hundred years or so. Chinas role in international trade has been very small since such times when discussing the concept of international trade make sense.
China was repeated 'conquered' by 'outside' forces (both military and economic) during the last thousand years.
Please explain how that makes China one of if not the dominant nation on the planet
They *got* rich, either by working hard themselves, or by their parents working hard
It would be nice to believe this, but the fact of the matter is most of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the world got that way through slightly more ignoble means.
look at the top 100 and I'll betcha that they started with nothing.
Surely this is a joke, let's look at that list, in fact let's not look at all 100, just the top ten will suffice.

Bill Gates - comes from a wealthy family, intially given $200,000 by father to start Microsoft
Warren Buffett - comes from a wealthy family, started work at his father's stoke brokerage house
Carlos Slim Helu - comes from a wealthy family (his father WAS 'self-made'
Ingvar Kamprad -one of the few 'self-made' rich
Lakshmi Mittal - comes from a wealthy family
Paul Allen - appears to be one of the few 'self-made' rich
Bernard Arnault - source of wealth unknownp possibly 'self-made'
Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud - one can only laugh at this one
Kenneth Thompson & family - inherited fortune from father
Li Ka-shing - appears to be one of the few 'self-made' rich
So, it appears that about 1/3 of the richest 10 are rich as a result of their own hard work (or with minimal assistance). My guess is that this is relatively consistant with the top 100.
This has certainly been my experience - myself hopefully NOT included. I am always fighting my boss and his boss for time to fix bugs with our systems rather than continuously adding new functionality.
This, as almost every coder on/. will know, is a losing battle. I simply refuse to release my code until I feel comfortable with the quality (I know it's not bug free, but at least it doesn't break frequently), I wish the same could be said for so many of the guys I have worked with. They simply want to please the boss, without regard to maintaining their own standards. As a result our 'customers' internal to the companies I work for, lose faith in our ability to deliver quality products. The whole industry is depressing. I think I'll go sit in the closet now. Bye.

Isn't the fact that the milage went down an indication of a real decrease, despite the sceptics, since prior to this, milage has been steadily climbing.
Like a business, wherein even 0% growth is a bad thing, so negative growth is truely terrible; except in this case the fact the growth was negative is a 'good thing'.

Paging Mr. and Mrs. Idiot who are still shopping or sitting at a bar, your flight is now fully boarded with the exception of you.

So, according to you, an entity cannot be "low paid" and "clean."
That is not what I said. please re-read my post.
But I can assure you that when death is demanding a visit to your household, you will not think of the "cleanliness" you appear to crave.
I refuse to die in a hospital. Hospitals are full of sick people, and a sizable majority that are admitted, die there. A significant percentage of those that die in hospital would have survived had they stayed at home.
I eschew drugs unless as an absolute last resort, unlike so many Westerners these days who seem quite happy to self medicate with OTC concoctions at the least symptom and turn to the doctor for prescription medication to cure everything from a head-ache, insomnia, fatigue, and malaise to spoiled children, when usually all that is needed is a good diet, exercise, fresh air and hard work, and in the case of spoiled children, a firm hand.
The bills in the US are difficult to distinguish under conditions other than blindness, it's about time we caught up with the rest of the world. We make coins different shapes, sizes and textures, why not bills.

Hospitals are dirty becuase they outsource their cleaning to companies that employ mostly low paid, un(der)trained staff.
how about the odd $1 bill smuggled in a handlful of $10's, or $2 in $20's.
You don't handle much cash do you ?

Well, Pythagoras, Leibnitz and Newton were not corporations which invested share holder money to pay for the development of their work.
They were 'free' to develop at their own pace with little to no pressure to produce a profit from their endevours.
Times have changed, and laws change with them.
I am not a big fan of the patent system as it now stands, but it does have a place in current society.
