Meet the Heartland where the press knows more Tagalog than Schlitz. Is there a need to have Anthropology of the Working Poor at Ivy league schools? Like having one use a wheel chair for a day to get a feel for being disabled should one have to spend a month on living on the equilivant of food stamps and welfare? Would be good for the press and politicians.

First “quiz” to have caught my eye in a while. Maybe it is being a John Cuzac character that does it.

Order the Windows Security Update CD and why is this not going to be on the checkout counter of every computer retailer? Sure it would cost but isn’t that a required expense of selling a defective product?

Why of course the people don’t want war… That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, a parliament or a communist dictatorship… the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders… All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.
–Hermann Goering, Nazi Reichsmarshal and Luftwaffe chief at Nuremberg trials, 1945

“Off-shoring” Manifesto/Rant: Sixteen Hard Truths
9. Big companies do not create jobs, and historically have not. (Big companies are not “built to last;” they almost inexorably are “built to decline.”)
10. Job creation is entrepreneurially led, especially by a small number of “start-ups” that become growth companies (Microsoft, Amgen et al.); hence entrepreneurial incentives including low capital gains taxes, high R&D supports are a top priority.
11. Primary and secondary education must be reformed, in particular to underscore creativity and innovation — the mainstays of high-value added products and services. Children should be nurtured on risk-taking, with a low expectation of corporate cosseting.
12. Research universities must be vigorously supported.
15. Worker benefits (health care, re-training credits, pensions) should be portable, to induce rather than impede labor mobility.
So where were the re-training programs, entrepreneurial, and research supportive efforts in the tax cuts in the past years? Seems that education is one of the more severly cut areas of federal and state budget cuts in the past 2-3 years.
