I never use the word ALL. Of course all are not stupid. And I do not think the right wing is even stupid, I think they are "willfully ignorant"-which is worse. I agree the vote was predictable. And so to my point the vote against Trump IS predictable. Message #320589 from The Black Swan at 11/27/2019 6:17:48 PM And that will be the same thing here in 2020, they will be voting for a 'cause". If that is all US folks are voting for in my lifetime.. voting for candidates, they are farked eh ? koan.. re your education post you really need be more specific.. The corollary to your line is that ALL republicans are uneducated and stupid.. if hat were true.. there would be no problem eh ? This goes RIGHT BANK to YOUR FOUNDING FATHERS>>> and YOU are still missing the big story on HK... How did anyone think they would vote ? Otherwise ?.. this outcome was completely predictable and to be expected.. How on earth could ANYONE not expect this ?

"koan.. re your education post you really need be more specific." For it is written on the subway walls and tenement halls that "One must be educated if one expects to coach college wrestling."

Bern'd Swan- i agree with your comments about being more specific. some people generalize and then present specific and/or absolute conclusions which may or may not be correct. it's okay, if you know how to read them. :-) in regards to expanding the formal school infrastructure (pre-school thru University) and making it available to ALL for free, here are some observations and a possible forecast for what's coming: while some are absolute about the power and need for a traditional educational system for ALL, i lean toward an internet based educational system (with online tutors if needed) that teaches the fundamentals of SELF-study and promotes SELF-learning, while at the same time teaching the value of networking, teamwork and cooperation it's already here NOW. it's on the world wide web. GOOGLE IT. ASK ALEXA... How do I learn new stuff? Where are people and teams to help me?<G> society is evolving almost as fast as technology these days... not much of society is unaffected by new tech. but most of our social systems are obsolete NOW... including school systems but especially government systems. with the advent of the IOT (internet of things) and 5G cellular technology we are quickly moving into the age of total transparency. like it or HATE it, eventually almost ALL data about ALL things and ALL people will be accessible. might it be most advantageous to develop A. I. with quantum computing powers to analyze the data as quickly as possible for decision making in our growth, or even our survival as a species? i think politicians calling for the expansion of our "existing educational infrastructure" are way behind the curve of the horizon. our schools are obsolete NOW. you can't run today's country or business on yesterday's information and expect to survive. you have to know what's happening in the NOW to effectively plan for the next step. "existing educational infrastructure" should begin evolving ASAP into the new matrix of the NOW. jmo what's your take on the future value of knowledge and how to get it? <g>
