War is Never Rational | Socyberty
War is Never Rational | Socyberty
Citizens have been chagrined and judgmental about the incident of Marines urinating on the corpse of the Taliban. Their attitude would be understandable if these marines were not kids, a long way from home and in hostile territory, if they had not seen their buddies cut down by the Taliban and their own lives in jeopardy. American military are supposed to be correct in all their actions. We expect it while we are comfortably at home out of danger. But war is different. Atrocities happen in every war. We cannot expect perfect control when horror is the norm.

New Electric RAV4 Ev Coming Soon | Scienceray
New Electric RAV4 Ev Coming Soon | Scienceray
Who is ready to take on an electric car? They are coming. Toyota is putting out an electric car at the end of 2012. It will have no back up gasoline engine. And will require the battery being charged from an outside source. A little scary. Where are these outside sources to charge the battery? It also has the option of a third row of seating which will be great for large families. It will be interesting to see how the RAV4 EV sells.

Ron Paul Madman or Prophet | Socyberty
Ron Paul has gained a lot of support in this election. Many people have forgotten about his extreme views in the past, or maybe they consider now is a good time for extremism. He accused Martin Luther King of seducing underage boys and girls, among other statements in the newsletters, mainly (Ron Paul Political Report)and the (Ron Paul Survival Report) he sent out all over the country. It will be interesting to see where his extremism takes him in this election.

Celebrities and Twitter | Webupon
Celebrities and Twitter | Webupon
Don’t we just love it? The shocking senseless comments celebrities make on Twitter are anything but boring. We can laugh at how silly they are, or be shocked by some of the outrageous comments they make. Too bad, that is changing. Celebs don’t like to be laughed at or made fun of. So, they are hiring people to edit their tweets. Isn’t that in itself laughable? I think so. Why tweet at all if someone has to tell you what to say?

No Child Left Behind | Socyberty
No Child Left Behind | Socyberty
"No Child Left Behind" was meant to push teachers into insuring that all children learned, passed all tests, and wouldn’t be left behind to repeat the same grade. It did sound like a good plan, but it hasn’t worked. Classes were dumbed down for poor learners. Teachers have been pressed hard. Their time in the class room is a rigid set of rules. They must drill students daily in math and reading so slow learners pass standard tests. No students can be held back and schools are failing at a greater rate than ever before. Government has not provided the resources they promised. It’s time to hand the schools back to the states and get on with learning.
GOP Exploits The Poor | Trifter
GOP Exploits The Poor | Trifter
The poorest of the poor live on the margins of society and struggle to keep the families afloat. They own no cars and as a result have no drivers license. They cannot afford to travel and have no passports. They have no bank accounts because they often do day work and are paid for a few hours here, a few hours there in cash. They have no picture ID. Now the state of South Carolina and other GOP controlled states also want to take away their right to vote.
