Al Gore's Private Jet

The parents who don't care will still produce voters.

Yes but eventually, if we allow nature to take its course,
they will become fewer and fewer... Darwin's theory.

That's a misapplication of Darwin's theory. The problem with the
uneducated isn't that they harm themselves, it's that they harm others.

When you subsidize something (like stupidity) you get more of it.

This statement presumes that public education produces stupidity. While
I have my quarrels with public education, what it does, and how it does
that, I would disagree with your implicit assertion that it produces
stupidity.

But it cost more.

Was it significantly more? Can you quantify your assertion?

You want changes from the schools? Change parents, first.

When mothers abandoned their traditional role of raising their
children, children ceased to be civilized. But out nation was more
competitive in the global marketplace. Now the majority of US
households are headed by a single parent who must not only earn enough
to live, but do all the parenting, house work, cooking, etc.... That
is what must be changed about parenting.

Without that, no amount of money or effort will make a difference.

I disagree. If sufficient government funding were provided to reduce
class size to one teacher per student, there would be a very
significant change in the quality of student achievement in this
country. Do you disagree?

I think air travelers were better off before airline deregulation.
Passengers had more room. Stews were younger. Food was better than
today. ...

Weren't prices higher?

Lets have
more private schools... give some parents (the ones that care)
vouchers so they can choose schools that do the best job of
educating their kids... and that ALLOW the parents to have a
say in the curriculum.

The parents who don't care will still produce voters.

We removed from the schools morality (prayer)

Prayer != morality, and does not belong in the schools. The Taliban has
prayer in their schools.

I'm saying we shouldn't tamper with nature.

Oh, you mean like exhausting the components of combustion of all the
life that existed for hundreds of millions of years into the
atmosphere as we currently do?

Or do you mean like burning the rain forests to exploit gold deposits,
or do you mean like hunting big game species to extinction, or do you
mean like over fishing the worlds oceans to near depletion, or do you
mean like discharging toxic effluent into our waterways, or are you
referring to failing to realize that the Earth is a closed system, and
we who populate the Earth need to consider implementing closed systems
to recycle our waste? :-(

So you have seen it then?


No.


So you have no compunction about your judging former Vice President
Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' motion picture to be "propaganda"
without benefit of having viewed it?

Do you permit others to do your thinking for you, or are you just
prejudiced?

I think so.

Nope.
