Having spent my childhood as a navy brat, moving every 18 months, I had an up close experience with the extremes of locally funded and managed education from California to New England. I am quite aware of how much local prejudice affects the management of everything from setting the curricula to the daily minutia of…

Why would you say that? I have insight and sources that you are not aware of.

Actually, what we need is a federal curriculum, a federal school board picking books and materials, and federally certified teachers. The problems in education are legion, to be sure, but the reason American education at k-12 is mediocre for most is the locals who are wrecking it. It is the locals who are insisting on…

How do you not have 100 stars?

How horrible! One of many sins the Church has to pay for. I hate the whole madonna-whore duality, the wrench of guilt to the gut of every sexual moment a woman has.

#ONE WITH A BULLET!

Saying dumb shit like this with that smug expression on your face makes your face incredibly punchable.
