Very interesting..

I'm fascinated by the notion of a Queen who is young and beautiful. She probably doesn't know anything, but it's a fascinating notion nonetheless.

@GoCardinal2012 I agree my friend. But, no worries, here very soon we will spend the next few hundred years repaying our depts to China and the rest of the world can go setup camp at their front door for help......

@GoCardinal2012 don't worry the republicans better chop all this off.

Why do they want the US to pay for everything?? It's like it is our fault we make more money than anyone else. Gosh!

A top-down approach is as unsuited to the real nature of education as it would be to sex. If we have a soulless educational system, and I think we do, now, extending it to more children is quite a mixed bag. Julian Assange certainly had a home-directed education. And its people like Julian Assange we need more of.

Where I live, we are in desperate need of eduction and welfare reform.

How do you quantify the 'curiosity' that is necessary in order to be moved to teach one's self?
