Not a one of them rise the education level of public educated kids... close down the damned Department of Education, sell the high rent buildings and send the money to the states to fund education. If the state can't manage the money better than the federal let the people have the damned money and send their kids to private schools that meets their requirements. | |

The moment you do that, the standards at the private school go to shit. Before long they will resemble the public schools of today with roaming gangs and drugs. | |

| Might as well throw this in along with the history of book burning. NYT/SCIENCE Article...
"and some electronic devices like FLASH memory chips have added this capability for protecting stored data by automatically erasing it after a specified period of time." http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/21/sc...er=rss&emc=rss
Protecting stored data by automatic erasure. I think the truth is closer to 'protecting the reality of what the data represents'. Headline: "Newborn baby states name and address on emerging into the world." The most recent newborn was heard saying it's personal ID as it emerged from the birth canal.
