Read the whole thing. And ask yourself where this came from in the first place?

    My brain and hands. ;-p
    Ok, I will suspend the smart ass comments for the moment.
    Paintbrushes and various types of paint, such as oils, acrylic, watercolor. I also love charcoal. It's a tactile thing. I tend to get my hands right in the paint if a brush isn't doing it for me. :-)

    Read the article again. The entire context presumed everything the ecophreaks assert is true.

    KSR?

    Taking something from "normal" science and taking it to an extreme may be "normal" sci-fi... but it's NOT SCIENCE FICTION.

    Mother-pus-bucket son-of-a-snot-eating-monkey!

    "While the story is labeled as a science fiction exercise in reading comprehension,"

    You wanna teach kids reading comprehension in a science-fiction setting while teaching them about globular warming... FALLEN FREAKING ANGELS YOU RETARDED KANGAROO FART!

    (Someone's slightly kinda pissed-off by this...)

    "IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST

    One minute the two space Hab astronauts were scoop-diving the atmosphere, the next they'd been shot down over the North Dakota Glacier and were the object of a massive manhunt by the United States government.

    That government, dedicated to saving the environment from the evils of technology, had been voted into power because everybody knew that the Green House Effect had to be controlled, whatever the cost. But who would have thought that the cost of ending pollution would include not only total government control of day-to-day life, but the onset of a new Ice Age?

    Stranded in the anti-technological heartland of America, paralyzed by Earth's gravity, the "Angels" had no way back to the Space Habs, the last bastions of high technology and intellectual freedom on or over the Earth. But help was on its way, help from the most unlikely sources ...."

    Shove that up your Green ass so you can read it!

    (not you, NMA... the baby rapers trying to brainwash those kids).

    It goes against my grain to read a book for free. The author put effort into it, and that needs to be paid for in kind. Plus, I have an ulterior motive. I want to give it to my kids to read. :-)

    Tut-tut...
    "When accomplished two incomes will be required to support a family"

    Remember that progressives never take only one route to their destination. The "feminist movement" that is now at war with women rather than men, was a major tool to require two incomes to support a family, also.
    As in The Great Escape, they dug three tunnels so that if one was discovered, they still had the other two... same with the progressives' attack on America.

    The plan: First destroy the middle class jobs by taxing and regulating them into oblivion. Then destroy property rights by the same methods so people can't even profit from legitimate uses of their property. When accomplished two incomes will be required to support a family and the parents will be too taxed/tired to oversee their children's education allowing for easy indoctrination. The children being naturally impressionable will absorb like sponges any pablum the state wishes to feed them and soon you have generations of automatons ready to serve the state!
    "An official with the school district said the workbook was purchased individually by the classroom teacher, and district funds were not used." So... the administration can simply be passive and complicit with no accountability...they are the enemy but they have a plan for the future. We have met the enemy and he is us...our children...

    Will it feature the evil Alvin Goreski as the Grinch who stole the lumps of coal out of the socks?

    Hats off to H who is clearly up to date on subjects being taught in some Australian colleges. The odd thing is, (or is it?) the private colleges who could be expected to pander more strongly to the market, have higher standards.

    And no, I do NOT know whether the kangaroo was retarded when he farted, or if he just farted a retarded fart...

    I find myself actually having to teach my co-workers to think rationally (well, as rationally as many of them can...)

    Not as a public service, but out of self-preservation, and a desire not to lose the last few shreds of sanity I have left...

    Oh, btw, the entire book can be read at the link; its publisher is Baen Books, and they put it up there to lure people to check out their other works. The also published the Falkenberg's Legion series and 'There Will be War' series I've cited elsewhere.
    But I'm glad you ordered it. I have two paperback copies, plus the one on my HD.

    Maybe she can do something in fingerpaints...
