Every year the kids get new mandates for more technology whether they can read what's on the computer screen or not. This way even if they can't read perhaps they can get their government check and buy a computer game, hopefully one for the windows system. Bill is just not satisfied receiving all the public money he's gotten, but he'd also like some control over the people's money too. I look at Bill Gates as just another Ivy League drop out getting even with the teachers who gave him the boot.geenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707730.post-81671054305383498682009-09-10T10:49:52.117-04:002009-09-10T10:49:52.117-04:00With all due respect to Ms. Huffington, it's t...With all due respect to Ms. Huffington, it's time to walk away from the farce that passes for the political process in the US now. It's time for resistance. It's time for disruption. It's time to tear it down.<br /><br />The corporate state described by Benito Mussolini may not yet be fully consolidated but the US will soon arrive there. It is a development that explains why the oligarchs and the neoliberal schemers that serve them have handed-off their movement to gut public education to Obama and his blabbering henchman Arne Duncan. Just as well, it explains the use of taxpayer's money instead of or in concert with the fortunes of Gates, Broad, and the Waltons to see their designs realized.<br /><br />The day of the monkey wrenches is here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
