    Sounds to me that you don't know what you want. You say it's an attack on public education, then go on to indict it - correctly I might add. You also don't like what he's doing - skimming the cream off the top.

    Let's start at the beginning, schools in America were started by religious orders, such as the Catholics to teach people how to read the bible. They moved on of course to teach a lot more. Then the government got involved and made public schools. They were very successful and they had a LOT of religion, patriotism, good old American values. I can show you high school year books from my parents from the 1930s and 1940s. Today they'd make a liberal pass out in rage. I know, I've shown it to an almost liberal and they had a fit.

    So what's the problem if we dismantle the very broken public education system? For those of us that pay taxes, look at how your property/county taxes are spent. I bet they're around 50% or more are spent on the county's public schools. They are also chock full of waste, because they don't care. There is no boss, it's the county government. There is no reason to do better or even save money. I used to do the budget for a county government and it was hard to do because of all the BS. BS that everyone can see, if they look. Waste put into place by a large extent by public unions. Hold hostage the kids. Want to cut something? Cut police, fire or education. Never cut the waste. That's never on the chopping block.

    We *COULD* have a first rate education system. Not the way it is in place now. Here's a thought, fire all the janitors. In Japan they don't have ANY janitors. The kids do all the cleaning. Something they all take home. Over here, we have plenty of people that live in trash. We can go on from there.

  10. Watch it England. This is how you stoke a revolution. Everyone knows it'll be abused. Then abused more and more often until the lid blows off. Now you have a mess. Sometimes people lose their head.

    This isn't new. We've put tags on our people for decades, I remember it back in the 1970s. Sometimes even a dog tag. One family I remember had a dog collar around his neck with a dog tag. They said this made it very obvious what was going on.

  14. IEEE, ASE, someone (other than the French of course). I have a bunch of Internet Connected Tech (ICT) and they're easy to break into and re-purpose. Very low security. Not hard to figure out what it's running - arm processor, etc and kernel - Linux, mich, etc. then update it. For some devices it's as bad as having a barn to store your 1969 restored Corvette and instead of a lock, you're using a board to keep the doors closed.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. I started with it before it was even released in 1992. It's been very much tested and reviewed. That doesn't mean you catch everything. There are things that happen that you never anticipated. An error occurs. If you can exploit it, you might be able to do something unexpected such as take over the kernel space. If you do, tell them about it and we'll fix it. It's becoming very very hard to break out of that jail.

    This is in huge contrast to the Windows kernel. Just a patched up program loader that sucks and is full of holes. I have to manage both and I can tell you that Windows is really full of a LOT of holes. Even for things like group policies they distribute in the clear, even if it has a password in it such as for their laps product. I have to think they don't care about security. Just send a truckload of money to them.

    Democrats were stealing elections before that. All the way back into the 1980s that I know of. There's a really good case for Kennedy stealing the election with organized crime away from Nixon in 1960. In fact, we know it's true today. History would be a lot different if Nixon didn't conceed and challenged it as he should have. Just think, no Vietnam, etc. Probably no crazy 1960s hippies and such.

    I don't think you're being honest. I can't think of a state that requires anything definitive. Somehow that's racist. Black people they tell us can't either get an ID or they can't be trusted to have it on election day. I'd think they're the racist ones saying black people are so stupid and irresponsible, however somehow it's not. Maybe it's just the black people that are also Democrats, which seems consistent. I have a voter reg card, I've never been asked for it nor any other identification in the 30+ years I've been voting. Not once. I've lived in three different counties. Same thing.
    I found an illegal working at a construction site. He said Maryland hooked him right up to vote when they gave him a license. He even said he's not here legally, they didn't care. Motor voter at work. Another guy from Virginia also said he was hooked right up to vote. I talked to a construction foreman from Arizona, he said it was very common there.

    Here are the dead voting - http://watchdog.org/57643/md-d...

    http://articles.baltimoresun.c... - in this case they were able to prove in court a lot of dead people voted. The Democratic judge didn't care. He didn't invalidate the results even though it's clear the ballot box was stuffed and Sourbrey lost by less than 6000 votes.

    Amazing thing, when you die, you always vote for Democrats. Funny how that is. I don't recall ever seeing anyone accusing a dead person voting for Republicans.

    Talk about something you know. Trickle down economics isn't it. It wasn't "trickle down", it was trickle everywhere. Everyone benefited from his policies and the US enjoyed the largest economic expansion the world had ever seen. I lived it, it was great. The US enjoys a lot to this day from all of that. Obama said Reagan was a minor setback to destroying the country. He's certainly done a lot to destroy it.

    So shut the fuck up yourself.

    Maryland is a good example. When we have Democrats, we're in big trouble. Spend thrifts. We have a Republican governor right now, we have a surplus, roads are being fixed, etc. It's so predictable, like clockwork. Same with Florida. Same with California.
