An alarming glimpse into the future

For those interested, Obama has removed everything we've been discussing from his change.gov web site.


EDITED... changed change.org to change.gov Sorry about the confusion.

I agree. It's not. But with how high the costs are, if we didn't have it we would have a whole lot less citizens with a higher education.

The percentage of citizens with higher educations hasn't changed in at least 250 years.

What has changed, is the percentage of citizens with pieces of paper that say they have a higher education.

Today's MA = 1980's BA, = 1960's HS diploma, = 1940's 8th grade diploma.

The total education package doesn't scale well, but in terms of literacy, numeracy and overall awareness of the world, I know some graduate and post-grad diplomates who lack the education of an 1890's third-grader.

I'm sure they'll take all of the negative comments from the internet and sanitize the pages put a modified version back up. "no no, that is not what we were really saying..."

It would self-correct without intervention if the federal assistance were taken away, just like housing. The free market works in education just as well as in every other venture if allowed to exist without interference.

Look at the bright side. There would be lots of unemployed highly educated morons looking for work. Maybe some of them would actually start to think.

Sad. Now the gun ownership issues are being discussed in the "Criminal Justice" section of that site. Funny thing is that most of the discussion comments are in opposition to the article ("Do Guns Reduce Crime"). Even funnier is the Frenchman's comments about gun ownership in France and his hopes for America. Duh. Lest we for get the France's national motto..."Nicht Schiessen!"

Interesting that he's got a ".gov" domain for a website that is not a government website (yet).
