    This is my last post on the topic. So, feel free to get the last word when I am done if your little ego requires it.

    And I'm the elitist? LOL

    "Education is EVERYthing?"

    Again... I'M the elitist? Bill Gates may beg to differ. But what do I know?

    Of course I know the history of the industrial revolution. What, are you trying to get me to say "that was then and this is now?"

    But it might help them understand this quote (which yes, I have quoted before)..."as you are to the least of my people...so shall you be onto me."
    Wow. You know my charitable giving habits? Smart AND clairvoyant! WOW!

    Yes, i'm a big meanie because I want people to succeed.

    Just because I don't agree with you, i'm a big evil meanie? Again, you 'progressive' types are SO predictable. The "other guys" HAVE to be mean for your arguement to hold water.

    And there are people who work for employers that deserve unions. And there are people who work for employers that do not deserve unions.

    That doesn't make them victims. Nor inferior. Nor superior.

    But I cannot abide people who say..."I did not need a union - so no one else does."
    This is why progressives always lose the arguement when it sees the light of day. You always have to turn the tables on the arguement and put words into peoples mouths. Did I say no one else deserves a union? Nope. All I am saying is that when a person makes a choice to join a union, there are benefits and there are consequneces. Period.

    As to public employee unions.... I've said I do not agree with how the WI governor is trying to do this. But I DO agree that a public employee union cannot have the same unlimited bargaining rights as a union that works "with" a private company.


    Elitist. Arrogant. Ignorant.
    As it always is if one does not agree with the all knowing ES.

    How do you get away with calling people names? I want in on that cabal.

    It's been an escalating cycle of acting out, culminating in the last week or so with several media interviews, in which he said all sorts of regrettable things sounding pretty egotistical, and maybe insane, insulting the shows producers and staff, etc.. See any US "entertainment" site for more info ...

    Thanks for that K. Yes, I can see he's really turned into a Looney Toon.

    Disagree with Eliminating Bargaining Rights

    According to a poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal 62% of Americans oppose the plan of the governor of Wisconsin.

    I think Charlie and Moamer Kadhafi are cut from the same cloth. They both appear to be delusional, totally out of touch with reality

    Kadhafi was saying on the news that all the protesters in his country really LOVE him. Yea, right! So why are you killing them bird brain?

    That was a good read Puck.
    But there are a couple of small typo's, and also I think they missed out on a comma somewhere.
    You know "Education is everything"....so therefore I will just have to discount the whole blog.

    I think you should just accept the "paradigm" of it..."per say"...

    Lets see...

    Dictionary.com

    Paradigm-
    1. Grammar .
    a. a set of forms all of which contain a particular element, especially the set of all inflected forms based on a single stem or theme.
    b. a display in fixed arrangement of such a set, as boy, boy's, boys, boys'.
    2. an example serving as a model; pattern.
    Use paradigm in a Sentence
    See images of paradigm
    Search paradigm on the Web

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Origin:
    1475–85; < Late Latin paradīgma < Greek parádeigma pattern (verbid of paradeiknınai to show side by side), equivalent to para- para-1 + deik-, base of deiknınai to show ( see deictic) + -ma noun suffix


    —Synonyms
    2. mold, standard; ideal, paragon, touchstone."


    I can accept a misuse of a word. I certainly was not an English major. My admittedly poor use of written communication is probably why I was just a "B-" student. I've just always been a better public speaker as opposed to being a writer.

    Perhaps you (or any of the other English majors out there?) can explain to me how I used the word incorrectly? I ask because I was trying to convey that you needed the "standard, current thought, commonly understood standard, etc..." to be what I described.

    I heard part of his radio interview from the Alex Jones show. He was talking about a mile a minute- the interviewer couldn't get a word in edgewise. And what he said made very little sense. I'm thinking he's either manic/bipolar or had taken too much medication (legal or otherwise). His behavior over the past year or so has been very erratic.
