It can be educational to look at election slogans of the past.

I may not have gotten this one. I was thinking of the political ad 18 years ago where at the end the word Bureaucrats zooms in such a way that for a split second only the letters RATS are visible. Somepeople thought it was a subliminal message, but that didn't make much sense to me because "bureaucrats" already has a negative connotation. I couldn't see subliminally associated them with rats would make that much difference. Plus I think the effects of subliminal messages are questionable.

Watching the ad now seems funny. https://youtu.be/2NPKxhfFQMs

Pick which political party you want running Medicare Part D. It seems silly.

The titles to my posts often have multiple meanings. Part of the fn for me if readers get it.

Is there a subliminal message in the title?

Liberals are like a street gang of cowards

Liberals know that their premises are weak which makes them feel stronger when a bunch of others agree with them.

A smaller tech school might be helpful. My son graduated from Lawrence..Tech which might do it for you.Lawrence Institute of Technology in the Detroit suburb of Southfield. Excellent school, not as well known, but if it's the education you want.you'll get everything you need....
.

No.

That's why it is called "horse sense"............of which we need a whole lot more in humans!

He's an engineer.

He should apply to a technical college NOW. I've known people who have college degrees but no high-school diploma, and also some computer programmers whose only degree is "high-school dropout." He should stop wasting time and go finish his education.

At one time the recommendations would have been M.I.T., CalTech, Purdue, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M, etc. I think that ALL of them are somewhat infested with the "liberal" crap, but I'm certain that M.I.T. must still be pretty good.

It'll be a good plan at this point to get in touch with deans at those schools and ask for advice. If any of them gives you bureaucratic answers, cut 'em off at the knees.

My wife knew a lady who invented a medical device for a Rochester NY company. She later went for a job where she would work with the machine. but was not qualified because she wasn't "certified" on it. "But it's MY machine, and I'm the one who DEVELOPED THE CERTIFICATION!" "Sorry, you don't have the certification."

I don't blame you.--As to me, I did well in some subjects and poorly in others. I made straight A's in French in first year, and, (as my teacher had the idea), skipped the second year, went into the 3rd year, and made straight A's again. But I barely passed in biology. But, pretty early in 10th grade, I knew I was not interested in going to college; I would not if I could get around it. I went to business school instead (for a while; the school took bankruptcy after a few months), and continued my job as a carhop, which I loved (until the boss ruined it for me with his clamping down and orders to "slow down" on the curb,so I quit), and have had various jobs since. I have had different tech courses since then. But that never gets me a job. I am glad I didn't go to college and become an indentured servant for the rest of my life, under tens of thousands of dollars of debts with no way to ever finish paying them off.

as hilllary said- "stronger together"- thats the perfect slogan for a gang, and the liberals ARE a gang at heart. They use the force of government to strengthen their gang. Its a sick situation.

I always tried to calculate the change before the machine did. I typically knew it before I finished putting in the amount they gave me. And I set a goal to never be off on the register, regardless of the volume.

Ahhh, drive Through at Burger King...
"He was a Burger King Employee... With Grease In His Hair!" Sung to JukeBox Hero!

All my bills were always in order, facing the same direction. And I was trained to always say "Out of X Dollars", and place it sideways above the money until change was made. And to count up to that value from their amount as a double check on giving the correct change.

The good old days... Nows its SWIPE, Click, Go!

They should make them sound like Jackasses - HEE-HAW.

The biggest obstacle to progress is progressives. Their devotion to government creates the very thing you describe.

Absolutely. Fun is key. I had a couple of teachers that left deep impressions on me... They would call on me, and use crazy examples like: Given this room, without any measuring tools tell me the length of the diagonal from this corner of the ceiling and 2 walls to the opposite 2 walls and the floor.

One of my favorite books was Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley. My favorite problem was: given a dictionary of English words as input (assumed a file), generate (efficiently) a list of all anagrams that spell at least 2 words.

Music... I almost flunked music. I can't CLAP to music. My daughter will push my hands down. LOL

Government run education is like government run anything . A mess that cannot be corrected.

You're preaching to the choir. Both my boys had similar problems. One was a science whiz, the other was amazingly creative in the arts.Their teachers were at a total loss as to how to handle them, or even appreciate them.

Make it fun, make it interesting. In most of my classes, I was 100 miles away, unless the class was music.

Everyone in Washington seems to be judged upon their ability to obtain notariety by passing a bill or proposing a change or fighting an existing something. The publish or perish syndrome. Note that quality rarely enters in as a part of this. Just "git 'er done." It doesn't matter how good the done is. One reason why we have so many stupid laws and regulations.

Eight seems to be the age at which children become aware of more than the immediate effect their surroundings have. Adults can muddle things up with too much information whereas an eight year old to pre-teen goes like an arrow to the point without any window-dressing contingencies.

The job of cashiering is not as dull as you might think. Ask most newly hired persons at Wal0Mart and you'll find that being a cashier id their ambition. And it becomes a job that they cherish. You meet people, handle money and often solve pricing problems. A dull job for you and I, an exciting step-up for certain others.

Many jokes reflect reality.

Moochers have been around since before A.R. wrote about them. It seems to be intrinsic to human history. Fortunately, the men of the mind and theirworkers do so for themselves and not for the benefit of others or else Atlas would never existed in order to shrug.

Lawyers run this country.

If it weren't for nonsensical rules there would be no tort lawyers and hence no bureaucracy.

Justification for non-existent jobs lies in the fact that "government" has a monopoly on force. Anyone can be "guilty" of a "crime" where no criminal activity is present.

Punishing the innocent and rewarding the guilty is how the bureaucracy thrives...and that is also why we so desperately need to pare down government. That approach to life is evil.

Thanks for the post from the 1950's. It shows how long that this nonsense has been going on.
