The job of Stephanie Bell, a veteran fourth grade...
I went into teaching. I even taught, for a year, 7th grade Biology or as I remembered it 5th grade biology.
This word is appropriate for a fourth grade vocabulary, maybe when I was in the fourth grade. Now- no way , the standards keep slipping as we continue to place all the students into a single track curriculum.
Putting the smart kids with the ones bred from dumb genes leads to all sorts of fun.

Goodbye women, hello complex ethical debates. ......
This line is probably dead but i will post any way. Unfortunatly this is how things will go. The truth is that people want thier own kids and will go to extreme measures to get them. This will make adoption even more less likely in mainstream society. The scary thing for me is that I can see future trophy wives using this so they can ahve kids with out messing thier figures.

The funny thing is that Two years ago at my old job we realized that FLASH 4 could write a text fule with any extention into several locations on a computer harddrive (ie c:\Documents and Profiles\All Users\Start menu\Programs\Start up...). Infact we made a working design that dropped a windows script intot he start up directory. We notified Macromedia and they altered the functionality for 5.. but not by much.

As some one who has been on both sides of this issue (I was a ADHD child on ritilan and a teacher)....
I believe that ADD/ADHD is more of a social problem now. It is medical but it has became a handicap to our educational system. In teachers college (ASU) I was taught to write lessons to the bottom 1/3 of the class's abilities. Thus in a way excluding the bright kids, whom are very well represented in ADD?ADHD case studies. They get bored, bored kids do what bored... [more]

I actually enjoyed it. By far it has the highest production level of any Trek show yet..then again it has technology that others didn't have. The show also seems less..... cheesy the other trek shows. I think with this one Paramount is going after a wider audience then the hardcore trek fans. This will tick off the trekkies.
Talking about trekkies.. how long until some one photoshops Jolene Blalock's (the female vulcan) clothes off.... [more]

OK Yes I am a veteran, and yes I am a republican but I can see an easy way (in my eyes) to blame bill.
1996 My mom was presented a folded American flag for my brother who was in the Khobar Towers bombing that was traced back to bin Laden. Clinton did no effort to bring him to justice at the time.

A repulsive article via Salon concerning protests...
See that is the thing you people don't get. Now I am not supporting the violence, but these organizations do have followers over here. Attending our universities, living in our neighborhoods. It is hard to filter them out, damn near impossible. So the fear factor takes over the people who are doing these things and they lash out. I know it is wrong, and the Arab / Islamic community in America has been living with at least 10 years of resentment in the states (gulf war, the towers,...), but... [more]

The Truth About Sesame Street

I have a problem with the show just because it uses the rapid fire delivery, Just like MTV. Look at when Sesame Street started and the mass influx of ADD ADHD diagnosis? IT gets the children, especially the smart ones, wired for the rapid flash which is not in schools.. ok I can ramble on. The show is bad.

Two points:
One:
Several years back when I lived in calif, they said we needed more power pants. The environmentalist got all huffy about coal then gas and eventually nuclear. The energy crisis in calif is reflective of liberal politics "there has to be a better way, if not lets wait till there is one" attitude.
I say, they are getting what they asked for.
Two:

Ya know, this goes back to my point. People who can't run with the herd, are weaned out by nature. Our society has became so fractured pandering to the cares of every little hard on their luck individual that is it falling apart.

I do agree with Vis10n, Growing up near St. David AZ, i had some freinds who were from polygamist families. Often one wife would take care of the kids of another so the second wife could commute to tucson to attend the U of A.
There are also downsides to this. I have never seen any attractive women who are in poly-marriages. To Quote Mark Twain

GOP. Get it? The DNC really cracks me up...
Looks like more damn hippy crap to me. Seriously though, what better way to of slow down a fast growing economy then to up the coast of fuel. Nothing any more is local, everything is shipped. High fuel cost raises the price of every thing. In turn creating an easily controlled inflation tool. Economy gets on track, lower the cost, grows to fast, raise the cost. It is a conspiracy!!
