With regard to where good brains may be, I tell following true story: The US mother of a poor, third-grade, black boy could not read, but she tricked him into thinking she could. She required him to get a library book, read it, and then give an oral book report to her each week. He tended to pick the small children's books, with lots of pictures. One was a picture book about rocks. (He collected rocks while walking home on the railroad tracks each day. One he had collected was obsidium, and it looked just like the picture in his book.) He did not like school, was called by all "the class dummy" and thought himself to be very dumb. He did not pay any attention to the teacher and she never called on him to answer any questions. He just day dreamed until time to go home. One day, the teacher held up a piece of obsidian and asked the class if they knew what it was. None did, except Ben. As he had never held up his hand in class before, when he did, some "smart" student said: "This ought to be good, let’s hear what the dummy has to say!" Somewhat shyly, he said: "obsidian." The astounded teacher exclaimed: Yes! That IS right, Ben! She began to call on Ben and he began to listen to her and realize that he was not the dumbest kid in the school. That piece of obsidian now sits on the desk in his office. He is Dr. Benjamin Carlson, Chief of Pediatric Surgery, at Johns Hopkins Hospital. (Or was 20 years ago when he told his history to workers at APL/JHU as principle speaker at APL/JHU's annual black pride week.) As stated in prior post, US is losing economically to Asian nations because too many potentially good brains are not developed in the poor rat infested schools. Except for the chance picking up of that piece of obsidian, Ben would probably be using his good brain to deal drugs. The childish brain, that noticed some pretty, wood-destroying fungus, which if it had been well educated, might have already solved the problems of making alcohol from any cellulose is also probably dealing drugs. America can no longer afford the loss of more than half of its most important resource for the information age.
I wonder when the US will start killing people in Canada for their oil? With current production of about 2.5 million barrels per day, you'd think the US would have shelled everything between Montana and the Athabasca Oil Sands by now. And if you think plans for non-oil burning vehicles will come to fruition anytime soon, think again, Canada plans to double it's output over the next 13 years to meet the increasing demand. http://www.capp.ca/default.asp?V_DOC_ID=689
I doubt they will; they would hate having to take personal responsibility for the victims, which would be so much harder to avoid when they live next door. Nah, much more likely they'll float the idea of a North American Union.
Nope its not; its the single most important reason the US will not start a war with any neighbors close enough to jump fences. Anything that comes to mind; hardly anyone cares to look for the truth anyway. Takes care of oil and blue collar workers in one shot.
They get free lunch and baby sitting monitors in buildings called schools. Typically few or no books in the library, if there is one. The rat catching, drug dealing, training they receive does come in useful when released into the outside world.
