It seems that Red China boldly set this sort of attitude and formulated attendant policies. Now it is rapidly being aped by other countries around the world, even by such 'respectable' countries as Germany and Japan. For the rich, this would mean fewer highly trained critical thinkers in society to question and resist the system and an oversupply of tech nerds which would mean lower salaries."<br /><br />parmenides<br /><br />esti lives!gbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435049339082622611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797875972831999598.post-15641493798024748052015-12-28T01:25:51.004-06:002015-12-28T01:25:51.004-06:00Well, then, everyone needs to stop whining, get mo...Well, then, everyone needs to stop whining, get moving & work for Bernie. I--among others who have been working for him--are sick of hearing that "yeah, we like him, but he can't win." "Can't" or "won't"...because we, the people, aren't working hard enough to MAKE it happen. It's been said--again & again--we get the leaders we deserve (when we--who can--don't work hard enough to register voters--when we--who can--don't make phone calls, knock on doors or have petitions signed). How did Rahm get re-elected, for example? Come on, people--heed Bill Moyers' words, "This is the fight of our lives & how it ends is up to us."<br />As one of my students said, "Stop your whining & start your winning!"<br />In memory of the fighting spirit of Roberta Rebb.<br />She would approve this message, I know.retiredbutmissthekidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718839023774142152noreply@blogger.com
