    More like forcing people who buy cars to also buy the unwanted undercoating, whereas those who steal them don't pay for either?

    Possibly, as Preparation H is definitely better than Preparation G.

    I'm keeping score and I'm in the F!ng lead as I've neither lost a toolbag nor have I overseen a shuttle disintegration! Woohoo!

  8. Re:No on How To Help Our Public Schools With Technology? · · Score: 1

    The reluctance of change is more likely due to the entrenchment of unions and government in the school system. This synergy of failure ensures that no aspect of public education will ever improve.

  9. Re:No on How To Help Our Public Schools With Technology? · · Score: 1

    It's better in the long run because "failure" is now localized to the family that didn't want education in the first place. It's pretty obvious that you don't really want something if you're not willing to devote time and attention to it. E.g. Why let a kid rot in school for 12 years when all he really wants to do is weld for a living? Let him go to a welding school and become an apprentice and work his way up. But what about the basics? Used to be that families taught their children the basics (ABCs, math, etc).

    Of course they do. Hence the hindus rejecting wanting to eat animals. Plants on the other hand are not "alive".

    You see the effect of soul on body, but can't seem to measure or detect it otherwise. Perhaps soul is like dark matter?

    Hmm. is the number 1 an idea or a thing? It can't really be placed, but we can for sure measure it. It's exactly 1.

    This ain't democracy. Was there really a 51% majority that voted for this? Representative democracy works... in theory... if you don't elect idiots as the representatives.
