Well, Saul, we either get serious about education 'er we can look at becomin' the only 3rd world nation with a nuke...

Yeah, I know that the Repubs don't want nobody knowing too much... They are perfectly willing to allow the country to slip into Epsilon Nation for short term gains but I don't think they have looked at exactly what kind of country their grandkids will have if we don't turn it around... Of course, the Repubs will always point to "teacher's unions" as 100% of the problem... But that is their usual excuse for anything that is broken...

There was a report the other night on India on one of the news stations... Heck, it might have been "60 Minutes" but that ain't the poinbt... The point is that there is one major reason that India is a fertile place for jobs and that is that India places importance on education...

BTW, Michelle Rhee, IMHO, was a great school superintendent for Washington, D.C. and look what has happened to her...
