Thanks to the parents who commented on their positive experiences with online courses. There is no doubt that online learning can work well for certain kids with motivated and competent parents, but when it is taken to a mass marketing level for children of all different ages, abilities and home situations that idea starts to fall apart.
Obamacare is extortion. True entitlements are the cost plus contracts given to security firms, the over 800 military bases around the world, the trillions for current wars, the passes given to agribusiness, banking, defense industry folks and a billion other off the books black ops accounts that we know nothing about.
The folks that run the system - and that's certainly not Obama - have the goal to destroy this country via social engineering, slow kill methods ( GMOs, Chem trails, Vaccinations, etc.) the destruction of the family unit, and last, but not least, anyone who dares claim that the Bible is the world of Yahuah.
the New World Order scientific totalitarian dictatorship that is morphing in front of your I pads is hell bent. And that's where they will end up. Those who can read the times and seasons will have to decide who to serve. Who will you choose? the Beast? or the Messiah, Yahushua?
Instead of hurting our seniors and economy "privatizing" and cutting Social Security and Medicare and starving the poor cutting foodstamps in the richest country in the world. Why doesn't Boehner want to discuss the obvious solution which has worked so well in California; raising taxes on the corporations and rich which are at the lowest levels in 60 years, close the Romney offshore tax shelters and reign in our stupid, profiteering military adventures. Many corporations pay no tax at all now after 30 years of the failed Republican Trickle Down scam which caused a horrible recession and has concentrated our wealth like Mexico.The Affordable Care Act is a good start to stop the private corporation (HMO's, Pharmaceuticals, medical device people) which are gouging and making a profit of the sick and elderly unlike more civilized countries which don't consume 1/5 their GDP on a private sector, profit driven healthcare rip-off. Could it be that these Republican extremists are being sponsored and funded by the corporations they are supporting over the interests of the American people? Now McConnell is arguing for "Citizens United II" in the Supreme Court virtually unlimited direct contributions to the candidate of corporate choice. Welcome to Plutocracy, Corporatism and Fascism! Wake up America!
“I hope that we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.” Thomas Jefferson
We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both. Louis Brandeis
Cory, here is the archived link: http://web.archive.org/web/20090505134840/http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/files/money/sexy/marketing.html
Would it be possible to get a link to the CBC article about age compression? I've been trying to find it, but I fear it might be missing.
