In Maine, a laptop for every Middle Schooler
New Brunswick, next door in Canada, has pioneered computer literacy in society, not just class. Maine wouldn't have to go far for a 'read' on what works.
Then again, this article reminds me of the attitudes covered in 'Mr. Holland's Opus', where the value of music in the curriculum was downplayed in the quest to better automate the production of unquestioning drones capable of passing set quizzes : a restriction on freedom of thought and inquiry. Julia Roberts in 'Mona Lisa Smile' illustrated 'social conditioning' in operation perfectly.

The del.icio.us file holds links on sites with articles that didn't survive downloading from my web connection - which has been especially problematic for over two weeks ( that and finding my way around a new desktop and OS. It doesn't matter how 'intuitive' something is - and I have to give Ubuntu credit - the first floundering around is a proper pain. Then again, I have found more nice surprises.) I've been waiting for hours to post Clipmarks and Del.icio.us entries and to get stories for a post.

destroyed trade unions, exported jobs and technology, plunged the nation into depression
Vets' suicide rate stunning
GOP became a kooky cult ( list of methods used )
'GOP thinking is circular and symptomatic of psychosis. They claim to disdain poor people while deliberately creating conditions guaranteed to make more of them.' ( Or fearful and taking power away from others while assaulting them )
Rand Report utterly discredits Bush, leaving McCain without a campaign
Bush Sr's Faustian trade bargain with China or How US/China trade threatens to wipe out the US Middle Class
'We have a younger generation who have no experience with so many things - local businesses and tight knit communities, affordable, convenient and efficient public transportation,wages in a household that allowed one person to support a family,homes that were homes not investments,easy access to public recreation,confidence in the safety of food and other consumer items,all regulated and inspected for the public welfare,freedom from the relentless intrusion of corporations into our lives...'

Tom Usher started me on an 'information-egg' hunt to see if I could make some connections that weren't obvious. This ( no model of understatement ) was my starting point.
I haven't 'gone on' about it at length here on my own blog, commenting at times at other venues, but I have been convinced that most 'debate' about what is going on in the world is in many ways shallow and uninformed. It's like trying to conduct a conversation with an Alzheimer's patient : salient information about background history is missing in large swaths and there is no recognition that this causes total irrelevancies and transient concerns to dominate public 'consciousness'.
Worse, the same 'arguments' go on ad infintum ( forever, already ).
I'm really not bright and creative enough to reason my way through to informed conclusions without information !
We've all heard the reports of how journalists are 'embedded' with troops. That sounds much like the old 'guided tours' in the USSR where you could only go where the authorities wanted. Deviation was 'spying'.
Similarly I think Broken Soldier is spot on how "Support the Troops" is a lie.
Name-calling is used to discourage reporting by serious researchers and discredit their arguments in advance of their submission. That's why the 911 gang finally got listed here. Often they themselves are timid about their positions - not wanting to appear crazed radicals. Ah, the benefits of 'framing' 'discussion'.
I actually had one 'blogger' try to dissuade me from even considering what they had to say as 'subversive' and cruel to the families of the bereaved.
Would that be the same bereaved who tried to demand accountability ?
In a similar case I'll remind you of the attitudes of a certain lady who is unwelcome at George Bush's ranch and wants to run against "Impeachment is off the Table" Pelosi ( though NP has attempted to recant of late ).
Ha ! I'm convinced most people are afraid of being ostracized over what is frankly a perverted position foisted upon us all by what is literally a 'Mind Control' programming of public discourse.
I've been incensed by the lack of real tangible aid to the young people who have - in all sincerity - gone into [War is] Hell and realized far too late that Satan really exists. I'm not being 'religious' here. It's been known for years that police won't investigate Satanic groups/cults because they have an unfortunate habit of leaving behind a trail of dead investigators who get caught up in 'ritual sacrifice'. Convenient, hm ? Isn't the current revelation about military control of US press reporting of the war ( and odd 'detentions' of journalists, - or mysterious deaths and attrition rates ) a 'high sign' that control isn't just about spying on Americans, but controlling what they think and how they discuss as well ? Chomsky is more credible every day.
Nor has there been an ongoing awareness of how everything is 'all of a piece' and there is no great mystery about what has been happening.
Greed, secrecy, disinformation. They lead to unbridled power. Who do we know like that ?
Still, information like the poisoning of Iraq's water - and America's too for that matter - haven't been seen in context of the U.S. and what is called a 'water empire'. That's the way slavery is kept going. People are forced to 'do as they are told'.
It's like a sales primer."What's the best Method to make a sale ?" Answer : "All of them."
That's how monopoly works : control everything. The U.S. laws against them are not enforced and we have monopolies establishing control of all necessities of life on a Global scale.
Some can see what is happening : the pattern of events eventually becomes clear. They are a nuisance that will be abated.
Depleted Uranium has been deployed in Iraq, the Balkans, etc. One side effect of radiation is similar to PTSD
link
That can be augmented by culling the 'intelligentsia' and getting rid of them. The flight of Iraqi doctors and professors is not accidental. They are targeted.
Side effects of a campaign of fear will even affect Americans, distracting them and making them less able to defend themselves.
Depression
Is there anything here from 'wild and wonderful' sources ? I've tried to avoid citing anything questionable. Discussion would be nice.
Would I close a post saying aloud those things we all think about but don't discuss without a link to somebody else's worthy transgression of politeness ?

McCain isn't a pup and was a POW. Think this report says anything about him ? Currently there is a big hoo-ha about the hippocampus shrinking after trauma, causing depression, forgetfulness, irritability...and stupidity. Note the date on the article. So it's something that needs to be verified today as a marvelous discovery which might lend help in treating vets ? Fast workers those scientists. I always did wonder what were 'Official Secrets'.
