How much for the Christopher Columbus hat?

With me, you'll know that I'll be wearing it, maybe sailing between islands, maybe giving speeches at sailing seminars, but it won't be desecrated by being passed around at a homeless camp and used as a wind block when melting crack into a pipe.

 I think you miss the conservative motive completely, It not hate or intolerance it's actually the same as yours, the wellbeing of our children. Conservative folks are consequence minded people, and see no harm in adults making life altering decisions ,but are scared shitless of minor making those choices.Let's be clear no matter the therapy, sterilization is the norm.

As for the "Don't Say Stay Straight Bill" LOL  I think we can agree, gender race or sex need not be part of kindergarten.

My tossed salad post on the 4th did a poor job of highlighting the unintended consequence of the current agenda, akin to the cutting endemic with adolescence a few years ago.

Right, because the solution to rich northerners paying you shit and telling you what to do is to cut taxes and cut welfare. Yeah, can’t see where that would go wrong.
 

Try this instead if you want to achieve something that doesn’t just make the rich men richer.

The inanity and stupidity of this vehement opposition to cashless bail never ceases to amaze me. It’s the perfect example of how the American right can be manipulated into opposing anything at all if they’re told it’s a liberal idea. 
 

For clarity, the purpose of the entire bail system is to let people out of jail. The only difference is that cashless bail makes those decisions on the merits of the case, not the contents of a bank account.

I didn't teach in a public school so I have no more insight than anyone else.

Has Trump reversed course on loving the poorly educated?  If not, then it's as true now as when he first said it.

Twenty five percent of schools are private in the US. trump and republicans are doing the best to ensure Jesus is taught in most of them thanks to vouchers etc. Currently the funding gap in the US can be as much a $6,000 per pupil annually.

Is that, what you got out of my tune? ....  Join a Union. LOL

 I was once a member of a brotherhood, The UAW.As per the union contract  we built the first five C-17 cargo planes, and as per union contract 2,000 of us were escorted to the door. The U.A.W. for us meant; Unemployed Aerospace Workers. Some 20 years latter the plane is no longer in production as is the Union.

I find your replies Idealist, rather than realist.

The rich men north of Richmond are in Washington DC, I think we can agree there

 Quite an Idealist approach to criminality. 

 The addicts that just broke into my car at the trailhead for nothing, they had merit and character.I should thank them for my absents here and for the $500 deductible, they don't have.Besides it was a victimless crime.The Liberal mind hive that is SF has been enjoying  those benefits too.I had heard the far right majority {5%} recalled  their DA because of this very same reasons.

 Do you know why there are so many addicts not getting treatment, some say because "it doesn't cost them anything." Besides, heroine is cheap...

 There are rooms were some of them meet.Rare, like skydivers the one in a million that: are at the hand of death unless they did something about it. You will hear a familiar sentiment from those that were arrested. " I wasn't really arrested, I was rescued."

Hi Rich,

Re: in education, we are slaves to our zip code

I do not know what the situation is where you live.  I live in Beaverton, OR.  The Beaverton School Dist allows a child to attend any school within the dist.  If they go to a school out of the area school where they live, then they must provide their own transportation.

Re: Perhaps we can agree on school choice.

I think a student should have a choice of where they want to go to school.  I just as strongly believe that no public money go to a church or private school.

I'm a product of public schooling and think I did OK in life. *

 Yet, Florida has some of the best outcomes post pandemic.Oh Phill if, if only funding was the issue. I'm sure we would be rushing our kids to LA Chicago and NY public schools.Where the correlation of per pupil costs are the highest, and would assuredly have the causation of highest outcomes.

 Now a nonagenarian, and one of my favorite authors may give us some insight. "Stupid people can create problems, but it often takes brilliant people to create a real catastrophe." You see, "A high IQ and low information is a very dangerous combination."  Specifically when it comes to both unions and monopolies. You'll see the Progressive Left wants to make the decisions for us, for their own good.

Teachers Unions are politically strongest of the organizations opposed to charter schools.They possess millions of members and make millions in political campaign contributions

An easy read in layman's terms, I hope you'll catch a copy if not, here you can watch interview. 

Or Simply go to 22:59 to an opposing point of your concern.

As for JaJa Jesus being taught, I could care less when our kids can't read or understand that 2+2 cannot equal five, and after a twenty year loss in learning progress in a few short years, we just might see an improvement.

If we teach how to think, with reason and logic.They will figure out for themselves, the moon is not made of cheese.

  It's great we can pick up a conversation, right were we left it years ago. Again, I am happy for you and yours.

Does your school district determine if there is the need for competition. It's a weird concept right , LOL 

You once made the analogy of co2 as blankets on the planet that can't be removed, as so dire.I thought about it.First, we must image the planet in its natural state, a blue and white frozen ball with no blankets.This also means our starting point is a frozen dead planet, as we know it and devoid of co2 blankets.The image gets outlandish once we get to a thousand or two blankets with dinosaurs on them.

 I knew there was something special about you! Thanks for agreeing on choice, and for sharing your Jesuit schooling with me. I admire the concepts of mythos and logos, akin to yin and yang.Perhaps you can ask yourself who would opposes choice in education and why.

I don't want to disrespect Joeweber in kind, so i'm wondering if you thought this inappropriate, educational or just fattie erotic.

Free public education was a critical engine of America’s industrialization and economic dominance. It provided a population that was more qualified than before, so that this (at the time) remote country with huge resources could change its largely rural economy into a world-class one. Roosevelt was a huge proponent for public education.

It’s not perfect, because my mandate it has to serve everyone. But if you look at countries with significantly more two-tiered educational systems, they all have even greater economic division than the US. Unless you think you’re already one of the elites, that’s not opportunity as it has been considered to be in America
