I'm not trying to say that you Sugar High Elf are doing the wrong thing be staying in the Educational field. I am glad to hear that you are really. I find your comments well made, evenly stated and would most likely learn allot in one of your classes. Maybe I should have quoted the "do/teach" statement, so as not to sound condescending (something I was not trying to be, just making an initial shock). I just feel that people can be h

Those who can't do, teach. I don't think it is the fact that Universities are selectively picking liberal professors. If 72% of your applicants are liberal, what are you to do? It maybe that Non-liberals have found it more profitable or enjoyable to not go into the higher educational fields. Maybe it is a mind set thing? Maybe my hypothesis is wrong, because when I finish my twenty years with the military. I plan on using my teach

I do have some issues with your oppion and numbers. Your saying that 9.3% underemployed rating is bad. Did you look at the historical numbers for that chart for more then just one year (i.e. 2000 the best in 12 years)? Because it also shows that for two of the six years that appear in that data base you used (to pick this obscure number from), shows that during the middle of the Clinton Administration it was at 10%, even higher then the highest Bus

That means nothing. The actual underemployment rate which is people that do not have jobs that pay a living wage is 9.3%. I documented that in my earlier Blog about how the unemployment rate does not document the issue of jobs. All that does not change the $675 Billion deficit etc. 46 Million nonretired Americans have no health c

An addition to my last post P.S. Points Just because Bush got elected does not mean he should stand on a high horse claiming he has a mandate. But the Democrats should not also take bad polls for Bush as an indication that they are winning and will be elected back in. Because IMO to many still find them a worse choice then the RNC.

I'm so happy for you, drimiler. But, since when do you represent the 50 million people without health insurance and/or jobs? You don't. You don't represent anyone.

After having lived in CA for 20 years, I can say this. There are no republicans in CA. At least not to stay. Only the libs are staying behind.

The Germans killed 6 million within the period of a decade. Stalin killed something like 20 million. America killed over 100,000 in two raids on two cities in 1945.

I may be a little confused, but one of the reasons for Japan's attack on the US was because of our oil. We were the primary oil provider to Japan (and the world) before the war. The Japanese main Island does not have much oil (not even close to what their need was and is). Japan's conquest into the Dutch East Indies was all for a new oil Imports source.

Even more sad, the Republicans could not come up with a better person! Can't argue with that. Some time we only get the chance to vote for the better of two evils after the primaries.

Sir, you should already know my answer by now. I'm surprised you're even asking these questions.
