Redlining has been against the law for quite some time now.

Who in the hel! is talking about redlining?

Well anyway, I'm sticking with my idea of online classes with the ability to chime in as a test of attendance.

People with more intellect than I can come up with the usage rules.


It's a good idea generally, but reliable internet service has to be much more available than it is now.  In a lot of rural places it's nonexistent, or limited to dialup or worse.

You did, by implying that you somehow have the right to keep people you don't want in your neighborhood out.

Sorry Nate, but when I would shop around for apartments back in the day, first question I'd ask the manager was do you accept Section 8 housing applications.  If they said yes, I moved on.

I made no such implication. I merely questioned whether that in certain areas in those places Artist discussed are people forced to live near low income housing.

You're not forced to live near it any more than you're forced to live near whoever buys the house next door or to whoever they rent. The developer, on the other hand, is indeed forced to do something in that scenario. I don't have any more of a problem with that than I do impact fees and stormwater management and everything else they are required to do.

In the article by Mark Fisher (Foreshadowing the rise and fall of the American empire?) "Worse,  like the ancient Romans, a sense of entitlement has replaced the drive and motivation we once championed". 

So it is now the noble political elite search through the ashes to find a reason the SQ 744went down in flames as the commoners want the school system to revert to education and less sports.  Still we are the only super power in history that has been able of converting a tree into paper to be printed in assorted values, to claim it has a abstract value.  This group of crazy nephews/nieces are tired of fancy building that issue diploma's to their children who cannot read the diploma.   
       
Today we stand in ecstasy and view that we build today'
Tomorrow we will enter into the plea to have it torn away.

Aren't you the same shadows who has repeatedly said he dropped out of elementary school?

Yet you call us the "noble political elite" for trying to improve schools for our children...

You also say that your nephews/nieces have diplomas but cannot read...

Color me surprised...
Power is nothing till you use it.

Every time I see a post by Shadows, during my reading of it my internal soundtrack is usually playing 'Dueling Banjos'...

To the original question; nothing - we won't do much different, just like we always do.

Since about 1/3 of us can't be bothered to finish high school, there remains the general impression that a 'bigger' number is better, so when we sit at 48 or 49 in education, that is thought to be great!  We got 49 times the education of that poor sucker who only has 1 or 2!!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.
