Let them eat ramen, we dont have to listen to their protests about higher tuition.... To be fair, part of the problem is that everyone's trying to go to college, and of course they want to go to certain ones. This comes from the ridiculous belief that you must have a degree to succeed (perpetuated no doubt in part by those who benefit from other people going to college). Thus, the cycle continues of tens, nay hundreds of thousands of young adults putting themselves tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt for a degree they're unlikely to benefit from more than they would have from a cheap local college if they insist on going in the first place. Granted, there's probably a lot of career delusion in play as well. "i'm going to change the world and I need to be prepared!" Fast forward 6 years and that person is $70k in debt with a useless sociology degree and working at Barnes and Noble. +1 "Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom.

I was involved in the Anthem hack, too. I put a freeze on all three credit agencies. Fortunately I have no debt and don't foresee any need to borrow money. But for a younger person or family who needs credit, this is a terrible situation. What will happen when the credit agencies get hacked? Just a matter of time. On a lighter note, once I got a notice from my bank that someone tried to make a deposit into my savings account. I wrote them back, giving them permission to accept deposits from anyone. So far, haven't gotten any. "Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom. Something is so, except when it isn't so." Charles Fort, commenting on the many contradictions of astronomy

How is that different from the Democrats? Neither party represents "the People." They all represent the special interests who have made them multi- millionaires.

Most of the newer ones can't be changed due to unique 3" and even 4" flush valves. We are doomed. The new regulations require 1.28 gpf. Pretty soon we will have to keep a bucket beside our toilets to flush them. And wait until you need a new water heater. Doomed, I tell you, doomed! "Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom.

I've got a couple hundred CRW jumps on Pilots. It's not the best choice but two stacks shouldn't be too much of a problem. They do close fast, however, and I suspect a nine cell is more likely to wrap. You can get your Pilot relined in Dacron to make it safer. Also do not attempt planes without a retractable pilot chute. I've done CRW with Lightnings, Storms, Spectres, Triathalons and Pilots, and I've docked on Velos, Stilettos, Mantas, Sabres and many others. Don't get agressive and make sure you know how to bail in case you are closing too fast, and you'll be alright. (Don't forget to disconnect your RSL). "Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom.

Science is Jakee's definition. Anti-science is getting a government grant to study a foregone conclusion. The study must be so expensive that no one without a government grant can replicate it, so that the author of the study can bask in the glory of his discovery unchallenged, which leads to more government grants, more unchallenged discoveries, more basking, etc., until we are all dead.

Probably poor journalism rather than poor understanding on the part of the wing suiter. Once I was in a jump plane with a reporter from a local newspaper who rode as an observer, and who was doing a story on skydiving. We all had a good laugh at the ridiculously inaccurate story he wrote and I wrote a letter to the editor to correct an error. (He wrote that all the pilots were unlicensed student pilots.)

There is no crisis. The leaders of our society will not come from the ranks of men, who as boys, took a back seat to girls; it will come from those (men and women) who never took a back seat to anyone. You can't hold a good man down, and now, you can't hold a good woman down either. As it should be. The problem will be for some women that they will attract men who are their opposites. In other words, women who act like men are likely to attract men who act like women. Whether that is a problem or not will depend on the individuals involved.

"College, except for a very few..." I should have said "for most boys school is a waste of time"; and it is. "Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom. Something is so, except when it isn't so." Charles Fort, commenting on the many contradictions of astronomy

Not to worry; soon women will realize that the positions that men have abandoned are not worth having. Then we will be ready for a new paradigm--a shift in the way our society earns a living. I expect that we will see more independent contractors and more start up small businesses. In the mean time, you go, girl! "Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom.

Sometimes people need to be grabbed by the shoulders and shook real hard. Men are fine; you're just not going to find them in the places the author was looking. Boys have figured out that school is a waste of time. Careers spent doing mostly useless things with a goal of doing them better than the competition are a waste of time. College, except for a very few, is a colossal waste of time and money. And marriage is slavery. If boys have seen through the bullshit, why is that a problem?
