a portrait - Ellen DeGeneres (link fix)
"Stuffed Crust" wrote in message ng.com... In rec.photo.digital.slr-systems Bill Graham wrote: geometry without any help from the teacher whatsoever! As a matter of fact, having that third who weren't interested leave was one of the best things about the class. The rest of us were really interested And that, I think, is the key point. GEtting rid of those who don't want to be there (and/or are unwilling to do the necessary work) does wonders. But then that goes against one of the core tenants of mandatory schooling... No Child Left Behind also means that No Child Gets Ahea.. - Solomon Exactly.....(you got one of the main points of my post) |

And when there exists a policy of stealing money from the rich (successful) and giving it to the poor (unsuccessful) the average intelligence of the human race deteriorates as a result. The unsuccessful just have more children, and the successful, fewer..... If you try to measure survival and evolutionary success in dollars you are sadly mistaken. For starters, intelligence and wisdom are in no way equated with financial wealth. Money just begets more money, with or without you. The trait of greed, the only way to attain more material gain than another human, is an anathema to survival of the species. The greedy person's only goal is survival of themselves, not survival of the species as a whole. The greedy do the utmost harm to everyone else's environment because only their financial wealth matters to them. They cannot even think nor reason beyond that concept. They often have to be forced by laws and punishment or threats of punishment to try to make them even consider the lives of other humans. They're not concerned with anyone's survival past their own life-span. The person who disburses their material gains amongst all equally are interested in survival of humanity, not survival of just themselves. Nor will they make decisions to harm the survival of others nor their environment just to gain financially. If you use financial gain as a yardstick for evolutionary success there will eventually be only one person left on the planet, whoever is the most greedy. Even your own comments proving that your desire for financial gain doesn't equal evolutionary success. Great post! (I respond not only to thank you for it, but so that I will include it among all the posts preserved on my web site...;-) The irony of this is that you are reading it and responding to it in a medium that was developed by "greedy" people. Without the brains, initiative, and financial investment of these "greedy" people, you wouldn't have access to the opinions expressed. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

Saw that movie just the other night. Funny, especially the beginning, where it compares the two couples. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSROl...eature=related |
