Not the Only U.S. Education Scandal, But It's Said to be the Biggest

America's biggst teacher and principal cheating scandal unfolds in Atlanta - Yahoo! News

@Super Dog.  In case you mean that correct grammar and reasonable writing skills are reserved for "white folk" (or that some of them think they are), I suggest that you don't read much - if at all.  On the other hand, if you're justifying that others should not care about "errors" in any type of language usage, that's demeaning the "others."  There was a time when people white and black would be killed for providing avenues for "slaves" to learn because education is one of the first steps in shaking off slavery.  Nowadays, truly it is hard to tell the difference is most cases.  Not only are minorities being devastated by the education system in America but the ones whose forebears did not allow slaves to get one back then (if they got it they stole it at the risk of their lives).  It's suggestive of "as you sow, so shall you also reap" turning in upon us. 

I advocate this:  whoever stands on the blind side of ignorance is ignorant.  Whoever is for learning, which could include little green or even purple kids or grownups (many are illiterate), then that sentiment comes from on High.  Only antisocialism wants people to be ignorant or tries to keep others ignorant.  That is proof that true education is not involved.  It is a pity for any Race under the sun to want to be different so much that that Race (or some elements of it) would want to wear the badge of illiteracy or enforce illiteracy upon another (if only by making one feel guilty for wanting to learn and "know").  It is very antisocial behavior. 

No man is an island; ignorance can affect/effect me and anyone else.  If that is the case, then education will do the same thing.  Anyone who is ashamed to be educated is on the wrong planet I say.  One last thing, God did not give it to any sole entity to monopolize or OWN the goodness he gives - education is one.  Only those mentioned somewhere in the above would purport that or demand that it is so.   In the last analysis, though, God always gets the last laugh and the last word.  Peace.

The U.S.'s Call for Accountability is Dismissed by China on Tiananmen Square Anniversary

China dismisses U.S. call on Tiananmen anniversary


It would be a great thing if the U.S. spent as much time rounding up and holding accountable ALL of its own multitude of war criminals instead of looking for them elswhere. 

The IMF Man Nabbed by the Long Arm of the Law

Pressure rises against IMF chief held at NYC jail - Yahoo! News

This is what these dark-hearted creeps do to the poor countries of the world - rape them. His kind has hid him so long he thought he became invisible. That goes to show his ego tripping does not know much. All things come to the light and all secret things will be revealed the Bible says somewhere. It is true.  It is always true. Now this wretch is held against his will. Wonder how he likes it.

Was President Obama snippy or rather professional with a Texas TV reporter

President Obama gets snippy with a Texas TV reporter - Yahoo! News

It's a pity that much of the news media of today cares more for spectacular ("got cha") displays than they do for information gathering. Oh, where are the Ted Koppel, Howard Kurtz, Barbara Walters, Tavis Smiley, and Bill Moyers students and emulators. They are needed today more than ever. Would that they had a school that taught more true journalism, contemplating fairplay and no hidden agendas aimed at embarrassing people or foiling their intended purposes. Instead, they'd focus on finding facts for the sake of soundness and truth. Were I ever under the gun, I'd pray for one of them as my inquisitor. They are good and decent in their approach to people. Truly, the way they do it is humbling to me; it always has been.

Nothing New Is It? Medicare Fraud, $225 million Worth

111 charged in Medicare scams worth $225 million - Yahoo! News

It's about time for unlearned people to become learned about this subject.  May then they will stop blaming the poor and sick, or just plain poor, and the disabled, for being a drain on the system.   Pretty soon people will start blaming retirees for living long enough to retire and get what is rightfully theirs.  This type of fraud is nothing new.  It is just not hunted down and punished enough.   These types of people have drained this country's Medicare/Medicaid system since its installment.  For those people who put so much time in trying to cut services for the ones who need it, why not go after yourselves and your buddies, stop stealing, and stop blaming the wrong people for this travesty. 

@Fun.  What in the world do the unions have to do with rich people stealing from the Federal Assistance Programs?   Those who, like you, dread the unions, are dissatisfied because you know they won't let you roll them over, or that in some instances they might roll you over first.  Put the blame where it belongs, (if you have the courage), on the ones named in this disclosure.

It is truly amazing that some people are so against the health care bill when it would at some point help the people who are against it.  For sure, if this country allows the Conservatives to make the welfare system private, fraud and embezzlement will get even worse.  The government has always allowed too many loopholes in the system for people who know how to rob us blind, and blame the people mentioned in my previous blog for needing the system.  If we allow the rich to rob those in need via the ballot box, then we deserve whatever we get.  Those who bypass the ballot box for whatever reason they can conjure up, have no say in it anyway.  That is too piteous. There's something in a vote for everyone.  If the rich get control of this system, it's out of the government's hands and we have no advocate, such as it is, at any rate.

@ GreatExpectations
I can appreciate your sentiment, but that is the wish of those who want control over how much is paid to whom.  I suggest that is one of the reasons jobs went to other countries - cheap labor.  We advocate that America be educated for the workforce, etc., but when it comes to unions, those in power want no part of it because they cannot control the wages of unions.  If companies could control what unions do and did not have to negotiate with unions about benefits of any sort, there would not be such an aversion to unions.   Unions did not take away jobs in America, corporations did.  I believe you are right in that were there no unions, more jobs would be available in America because more corporations might keep jobs at home, since they could control the wages of employees. 

Obama To Cut Energy Assistance For Poor; Kerry Urges Him To Reconsider

Obama To Cut Energy Assistance For Poor; Kerry Urges Him To Reconsider

Thank God for you, Senator Kerry.  There are a few voices of Reason and Compassion afoot.  Now here's a deep thought I had to myself:  Why don't the people that have the means to do it but not the will, take Uncle Sam's huge hat, pass it around the rich round table, or maybe it's a rectangle or something, and take up a collection to fund these concerns.  Here's the purpose, Mr. President, just in case it is really true that you are going along with or proposing this atrocity yourself:  

Take up a collection on behalf of these citizens of this country - citizens no less than the ones who own most of the money and everything else in the country and maybe the world:  (1)  all of the old people, our parents, grands and great-grands and more; (2) all of the little and not-so-little children of this country; (3) the sick, you know, those, the majority of whom cannot eat and pay bills, afford medical care and medicines, too; (4) the disabled (the sick) who can't keep a job either, because they are NOT able; (5) the jobless (these named belong to them in some way) who cannot find a job through no fault of their own, but the need for money for livelihood never fails; (6) the shut-in, too sick to move enough to take care of themselves - thus shut-in - they could freeze to death in their immobile states during the winter, and suffocate in their stillness during the summer.  It would be a murderous thing to doom people to what they will suffer because they are the expendable ones.  

The passing around of a legislative collection plate would solve a lot of problems that greed will not because it does not want to.  Surely some soundness should prevail here.  Only those who have become so desensitized by misuse of the goods of this globe, and by the (for some) unlawful and dishonest accumulation of them, have a lack of concern for those less fortunate than themselves, and therefore, their hearts don't bleed for the pain these political actions cause.  They can tune it out - poof - it's not there.  This ranks atop many, many injustices against the poor that can be named.   If we do not care for our own, who's going to care for us when the time comes - it will come.
