>Public schools in the US are beholden to teacher's unions This is just wrong.

The only thing education in Texas is motivated by is standardized test scores - period. Teachers unions in Texas cannot even raise safety issues like faulty fume hoods or leaking gas jets in science labs. The football team comes in second followed by groveling before helicopter parents.
I know you will not believe that but others from around here can chime in.
>I'm actually now against democracy but haven't got a solution Try this: One dollar, one vote. For every dollar you send in in taxes you get a vote. The rich tax evaders will be disenfranchised as will those on the dole. One could have a bicameral legislature where one chamber is one dollar one vote, and all spending bills arise there; the other is one anus one vote, treaties come from this body. Bills must pass both.
>Hm. Try reading a source that disagrees with your cherished belief. Be brave. I have next to me a publication, "Galveston Bay Geology" published by Houston Geological Society, 1969. I am looking at it now. There is a chart that shows that 22,000 years ago sea level was almost 450 feet below what it is today, and that 70,000 years ago sea level was 100 feet higher than it is now. When I hear winy sniveling out of snot-nosed south pacific islanders like, "What will the butterflies do?" I can only respond, "They will do what the fuck they did the last time this happened." By the way, I measure hydrate stability for a living. That extra 450 feet of seawater is stabilizing way more hydrate than a few degrees of temperature will destabilize. Actually, it is both chilling and pressurizing, both of which stabilize hydrates. Take a dose of your own medicine.

W let Ted Kennedy run hog wild and that is how we got NCLB. Different, but it is very important to get this straight. When you properly internalize just how reckless W was in doing this you will wake up in the night in a cold sweat.
LabVIEW zealot here. Yes, it looks like spaghetti until you poke highlight execution. After that experience you will wonder how you ever managed.
The latest versions have functionality to insert space making things easy to clean up; also, you can scoop up a bunch of stuff and make it into its own little box - like a subroutine. I will not go back to Fortran (or Basic).
LabVIEW home is available for about the price of two bottles of Jameson.
We use Team Foundation Server for Version control with LabVIEW. It was probably a bitch for who ever set it up but I get along with it just fine.
Ooh-ooh-ooh! I just thought of a cool way to do this. At least in one dimension, probably two, maybe more but not all at the same time, or not all all the time. Not enough room to put down the proof and I need some sketches. This is so great!
>If kids need more sleep, wouldn't it be sufficient to go to bed sooner? High School starts early so kids will have time to get to their afterschool jobs so they can help their family survive. Of course this is not true for every single kid, some have sports to participate in, and one or two of them have intact families with good incomes. But for the benefit of the working kids (ahem, and their employer) school times are set this way. At least that is the consensus of the teacher I have talked to about this.
As far as being a deliberate distraction the cheerleaders could not possibly be more destructive to cognitive work than the 'open cube' crap our corporate pointy haired overlords swallowed hook line and sinker.
I plead daily with God to not speak to me directly, again. This common amongst those who have had the experience. Life was simpler in the days I could think I wasn't really sure.
If they come up with a charm that can be put on a phone line that will give telemarketers warts the world will a path to their doorstep. just sayin......

It is even worse theology. It requires belief in a deity that created everything to deliberately fool us. Once you go down that road 'died on the cross for my salvation (and yours also if you are interested,)' evaporates. Not having any of that.
No, the bigger picture is that government exists for the sake of government, and is left to its own devices it would take over everything if you let it. This has happened many times throughout history, and the Free Market is the best defense against runaway bureaucracy. Always remember that.
I am starting to wonder about that. The government does not exist to protect us from the Robber Barons(tm), and it would not be an efficient way to protect them from us. I am starting to wonder if the government exists to protect them from each other, or something like that.

Some things coming out of FMRI studies of brain connectivity look promising for this application. Not DNA, but nice eye candy graphics.
My uncle had a dog that would eat turnip greens.
Of course it took him three weeks to warm up to them.....

Maybe they want to put the screaming babbies next to the morbidly obese?
Could they?
Would they?
Should they?

just sayin......
A GPS location will fit in a 64 bit word. Phones do that a lot. Phones these days, I still use a flipper from the last decade.
