I think something needs to be done, so the President gets the message. He does read the messages. He just believes it to be wrong. Remember, this is the division of power here. You have the potential to gain more power for the Legastivie branch rig...  [Read More]

Gah, now a rant on why public education is bad? I like public education. I just do. Nowadays, I realize how naive I was back then. In my opinion, the point of school in 2007 and beyond is not to learn or to love learning, but to find out how to ob...  [Read More]

Buying Degrees is a great way of getting promoted and then summarily demoted and fired. It occurs all the time in America, with online universties promising Graudate degrees within 30 days. Often times, some Americans don't even know that they are bu...  [Read More]

Actually this could happen, if our political leaders would grow consciences and take a stand on, say, China's human rights abuses and refuse to trade with them until these abuses are stopped. Trade has been going on long enough that if we were to sud...  [Read More]

I hate to sound like a broken record, but what is this based on? China's current economic growth comes from its foray into free market economics. I would think that the remnants of communism would help negate a lot of the risk of a collapsed market....  [Read More]

Well, I have a slightly different take on that. I would say that it's less a case of China being out to get us and more of a case that China is trying to join the rest of the developed world. The fact that we've really hurt our long-term economic pot...  [Read More]

I don't think you can restore Shelyron and the Rakatan Temple, due to the lack of data, and the fact that you're going to have to invent new stuff. It might go down the drain of the Droid Planet? Maybe you should just spin that off to create a new te...  [Read More]
