Classically Liberal: Some really sick people run the schools and write the laws.
Carol Mowen, drooled out a statement: “It’s important to understand a child may not realize that what he or she is doing may be considered sexual harassment, but if it fits under the definition, then it is, under the state’s guidelines.” Mowen called this blot on the child’s record a “learning opportunity.” Mowen is a moron, no I’m wrong. She’s a MORON. An evil moron who shouldn’t be allowed near children.
Ah so let’s make it clear reposting allegations isn’t illegal, damn. Ok Her behaviour is Moronic, but evil?
Let’s take a look. Looking back on my childhood I would indeed be a wobber, a wapist and wapscallion if d’unts ( dull cunts , I’m trying to popularise this) like these were in charge.. Oh they were , damn I knew it was a living hell for 4 years. Anyway YOU STUPID BITCH five year olds don’t drive , vote or even cross the street on their own for the reason that even a developmentally challenged,emotionally retarded authoritatian bint should be able to explain is that they are incapable of the judgement to do so and rely on adults to protect and guide them rather than stigmatise and traumatise them.
So yeah you may not be evil but I have a feeling if you met satan you wouldn’t need a translator.

Link to The Daily Times – www.delmarvanow.com – Salisbury, Md.
SALISBURY — A Salisbury Middle School policy that called for students to be escorted on bathroom breaks resulted in three students being forced to answer nature’s call via a soda bottle.
Excessive requests for bathroom breaks throughout the day have prompted faculty members to be more skeptical, requiring some students to be escorted.
The piss police have expanded their reach from the war on some drugs:) Ok isolated case but this is why I don’t want our son placed in the hands of this state employed morons. The comments by the morons that employ them is even more telling.

Tuition going up but low-income students get full ride
Arizona Socialist University.
There’s something wrong with this picture that the people that pay taxes, pay more more the services their taxes deliver than those that contribute nothing other than allowing socialist pukes to feel good about using other people’s money to assuage their guilt.
“This important step will allow us to serve a far greater number of students and provide the vital support necessary to ensure a brighter collective future for Arizona,” ASU President Michael M. Crow said. “We ( meaning we use the police power of the state to forcibly fund our expansion) have made a commitment to Arizonans who have a dream and the desire to realize their full capacity and potential through education.
Seemingly people reaching their full potential = paying them. I have a better idea,though not as libertarian as I’d like but if we have to give away money let’s get something in return. For all those people that attend and pass have their loans wiped out. Can we stop pretending that this isn’t a socialist country .. I’ll be quiet when you all just admit it:D

Post-Modern Prosecutions by William L. Anderson
One hopes that if this case comes to trial, that the judge will recognize the dishonesty of Nifong’s charges, or that a jury will understand that absurdities are absurdities. I say “hope,” because right now, the post-modernists are winning battle after battle. It is one thing when post-modern nonsense dominates a history or English class; it is quite another when it becomes the bedrock of modern law.
I suppose this kind of thing would be important if there weren’t so many other things to keep up with like comedians outbursts and how people will fight each other to obtain a kids toy. Taxation has been noted as possessing the power to destroy. A narrower, but far more damaging for those caught up in it, situation exists with the power of prosecution.
There’s some really detailed material , and pretty good discussion occurring over at “Durham in Wonderland” and no I had my title prior to seeing that site;) It’s really sad how many “educators” decided to censure the accused publicly for atavistic reasons based on the sad notion that social justice equals “someone has to pay” for the sins of the “father.”

NYC schools cell phone ban earns parents ire – CNN.com
These all-out bans brought on by lifes minor inconveniences hint at thoughtless fascism,” said one parent in an e-mail.”These kids are students, not prisoners,” wrote another parent, whose daughter travels from their home in Brooklyn to school in Manhattan.
Yes it is, and yes they are.
Bloomberg argues that phones can help students cheat and waste time in class by playing games and sending text messages. On the more sinister side, he believes they help gangs organize criminal activity.
Yeah and schools , possibly, and this is a stretch bear with me, could teach kids how to write and equip them for ID theft so we should ban them too. Phones can also be used to call Bloomberg names
So can blogs .. Asshole. Stop thinking about the devices rather than the intent behind them , you solve nothing taking away a tool , but you do end up looking like one. Theft by the state isn’t usually this naked:)

Mention one Russian novel in a college educated group and.. crickets chirp. It’s getting too big, the infosphere. My ignorance increases daily and I’m not even in the astronomy field. K I get that pop culture is so broad that connections are hard to make though I would have thought books at least would have been immune to this, after all no one is writing 19th C literature any more. I am so outta touch with my age group I should be an automatic shoe in for Judge:)
Given that our experiment to kill Direct tv will be enacted soon Erin’s practicing by watching episodes of Jericho on CBS. It has a survivalist theme which rather interests us both ( that we live in one of the worst places to live without water/power and stocked food is an oddity I admit)
Today..
Trying day. The kind where playing the game of Simon as a child prepared me for
Yes
yes we’ll do it.
yes we’ll do it. in which order?
yes we’ll do it. in which order and when for?
yes we’ll do it in which order and when for if you could stand on your head in a bucket of fish guts while singing “my old man’s a dustman” with an Albanian accent and a swordfish stuffed up your jacksy …
That was not the worst thing that happened to me today. Not nearly as bad as people pointing out typos.

Well still suffering badly from a blocked tubes, an office with a climate that varies from Oahu to North Alabama in winter. I’ve often thought about returning to school, though the further time goes on the less likely (I taut I taw tautology) that’s going to occur. Problem is most institutions are not set up to cater to the customer. I’ve read enough classics thank you, I don’t wish to spend money on doing so, nor do I need to be taught that basic civility to other people is a useful too ( regardless of their deserving it;) or a myriad of other extras that they require prior to taking your cash. The flip side of course takes the money and lets you do the work.Basically paying for a certificate you can print out on a laser copier and learning on your own is somehow invalid, most people can’t gauge what you know and use an identified marker such as MA, BA, etc They’ll
also tell you they are not prejudiced.
There’s a sound engineering course I’d love to take but the time commitment makes it impossible to carry on a family, job and course that requires a lot of dedication. ( other’s claim to manage such but somethings got to give)
And the title? Well a friend ( she’s not stabbed me and occasionally smiles in my direction so yeah considered a friend) says that I speak in “hal-tseese” a grammar that is impenetrable to the average American and which I am becoming more and more inclined to agree with.
So interesting things found on the web today .
A nice guide to You Tube add ins

Kinda worrying that LA and SF are seen as possessing the same kind of challenges of a Scottish school, WTF? All they want is 30 pairs of eyes looking at one pair looking out while passing on the instructions to be a valuable , not to theirselves, member of society.
High-achieving schools in America are to be toured by the first minister and chief inspector of schools to see if any lessons can be learned in Scotland.
The article goes on re Scotland trying to attract Americans over which I think I will relate a story , it’s not anecdotal but I can’t find the exact item in the couple of minutes I’ve given to this just this one that’s from a tabloid paper. The UK has one of , if not the highest number of people that wish to be elsewhere from amongst OECD countries (American’s the least likely) Scot’s move , may come back but the chance of a full education ,career path in most industries can’t be done.
A lyric from Fish’s Album “Internal Exile”
Like our fathers before us,
We’ve eyes for America.
Dream of a new life on foreign shores.
But wherever we go, we’ll always know,
That the land we stand on, is never our own.
After Kelo more of you are going to find out what that’s like;)

Well a choice has been made.:) thanks to my wonderful “wife” whose splitting the camera with me for my birthday.
Stay tuned for Dobh’s adventures as a child actor ( please not we do not intend to provoke emotions just to get a laugh on video) However my evil side needs excercising so I will be polishing the wooden floors , setting up a laser pointer, and then showing the world how to play cat bowling:)

Heat is on packed lunches – Sunday Times – Times Online
No matter how much antipathy the US masses have to the concept of freedom , other than the Pavlovian responses ingrained by state schooling , it’s an antipathy that would seem to protect us more from the horrors of democracy than is apparent at first glance. I’ll be stumbling through this idea over the coming days and weeks. My home country has totally lost it , as evidenced by this article, in relation to “who owns you”. Teachers and the admin staff believe they have the duty to prevent children from eating a Mars bar. If the schools do not wish to supply “bad” nutrition , and it never stopped the fuckers when I was at school , then they don’t need to. Sadly they have decided that a healthful choice means that their food only has merit and private attempts to feed your children are just not on and you will be called to explain yourself to the school for Snicke(r)ing at their rules . Oh it’s starting to look like government all over isn’t it?
After all it’s far easier force feeding your overpriced items when you have a monopoly on the approved calories list than educating the public ,a job over the last 40 or so years the education establishment has failed, into making a choice in their best interests. Denigrating food brought in from the outside and preventing pupils leaving at lunch has nothing at all to do with their trying to increase revenue?
Parents who do persist with the Tupperware shouldn’t be surprised if they are quizzed on its contents. In Greenwich, where Oliver’s eating revolution has finally taken hold, children tell tales to teacher about suspect snacks.
David Ashley, Kommandant ( headmaster We don’t call them principles in the UK since apparently they possess none) of Greenslade primary, says that pupils who bring in packed lunches “are allowed chocolate on a biscuit but not a Mars bar”. If such sweeties are spotted, parents are called in for a quiet word.
At Charlton Manor primary, the head , Herr Tim Baker, says: “Children get stickers for healthy boxes . . . If a child brings in a chocolate bar, we take it out of the lunchbox and give it back to the parent at the end of the day.” Pupils give each other away, he confides: “They say, ‘Miss, he’s got sweets in his box’.”
Nice training for a lifetime of state worship a new division of the junior pies, er spies.

Students locked inside school – The Boston Globe
We are still in the middle of a 10-day investigation because we want to make sure this family has all the support they need,” Monteiro said.
In short Email containing pretty innocuous terms is sent to a school. School nazi decides that it’s threatening , locks down school and has the state check out the family using the ominious quote replicated above. So Dobhran that’s why you can’t go to school like the normal people;)

CNN.com – 2 found dead inside deflated balloon – Jun 4, 2006
If you fill a balloon with helium where does the oxygen go? Seemingly that’s something that high school failed to address.
This falls into the Simpson’s category “It’s funny because it’s not me” . We can put a check on the irony category too. An advertising major killed by advertising. They wanted to get into advertising but the advertising got into them after they had gotten into it.
Either that or had they listened to Bill Hicks and decided to take the honorable way out?

Bad Astronomy Blog » Blog Archive » Outrage at attacks on NASA science
“This is more than a science issue, it is a religious issue. And I would hate to think that young people would only be getting one-half of this debate from NASA.” George Deutsch ( Nas-hole)”
Phil Plait, of Bad Astronomy fame, brings to light with this post a situation which would be hiliarious if Heller was writing the book. A 24 year old journalism major is attemplting to decide the published output of Nasa’s scientists based on how politically correct it is to those with invisible friends.
One of the comments echoes a quote from Feynmann, incidentally from the Challenger inquiry which is another case of wish fulfillment versus listening to those they employ to know better.
“For a sucessful technology reality must take precedence over public relations,for nature cannot be fooled”
The public however..

U.S. ENGLISH, Inc.: Towards a United America – 2/2/2006
Ever get the feeling that the term internal exile could be applied to the country you live in? Hell if I wanted to live in a gulag archipelago it would at least be more tolerable with a nice alcoholic drink in the Keys. ( Florida)
Do deaf people get a break if the officer can’t sign? Seriously this judge needs to be looking on the wrong end of an impeachment process.

Driving the spoon
The day that real food hit him. He’s so far decided that yes, Yes YES food is a good thing. Over the three days we’ve been away he’s manipulating small objects with far more precision than last week. Though we’ve entered the era of “sticky” no more nice new furniture, clothes or fragile art that’s within say… 2 miles of his presence.
We went to the range prior to retrieving him today. I’m glad to report, happy ne ecstatic to report that the CZ97 is one accurate brick.
