RANT: seeking “intelligent life” at the other end of the keyboard

Sunday, May 4, 2008

*** begin quote ***

Received your email seeking “intelligent life” at the other end of the keyboard. Pretty hard to find this in today’s society. I’ve become a cynic but I see remedial math and English courses for college freshmen, liberal thinking that says abortion and euthanasia is ok, 25% of high school female students having STDs, students in high school and college who believe they are entitled to a grade of A or B for just showing up, and other signs of entitlement and liberalism. You got me started!

*** end quote ***

I’m only a 68BEEE, (paid extra for that Electronics E), and agree with your assessment. I believe that a Secular Progressive fascist / socialist movement captured our education system. Horace Mann led the adoption of the Prussian education system in Massachusetts in the 1850s. It spread like wildfire. Mann is often considered “the father of American public education”. Unfortunately for us, and know to many of the then elite, the Prussian education system, which is virtually unchanged from its roots, was designed to make cannon fodder and factory workers that could be easily led by the elite. What you are reporting is the result of that remarkable German Engineering. And it ain’t a BMW. IMHO the American Catholic Church, and others rolled over and played dead. They let their children be kdnapped by a runaway State. Look to the European history of the great tension between Church and King. When the King oppressed, the people used the Church to balance. Liberalism once meant moving from an autocrat to a laize faire human rights society. When the elite looked at post-revolutionary America free, energetic, and uncontrolable, they “knew better”. Since then it has been a parade down to perdition. Government is a parasite on humanity. I can’t find one redeeming aspect of it. Now we are supposed to worship the godless State who provides all things. I thought the Communists lost the Cold War? Unfortunately the chickens will come home to roost, with dire consequences, for all of us. Maybe we won’t see the ‘fun’. I hope I won’t. History teaches us that those periods are very bad experiences.

WINXP: Lugable takes a holiday

Sunday, May 4, 2008

Thursday night, actually Friday wee hours, I couldn’t sleep; so I pounded out several reams of my best prose. It tired me out so I went back to bed. All happy and ready to sleep.

Friday 6AM, I close the lid and go to work. Like I’ve done for what feels like eons. I open up at work and screens black. No power. SO I power up and pouf the data fairy has taken that stuff and sent it to the bit bucket.

I wriggled on that hook for the day. Off and on. It was gone.

Mozy has been spinning cycles but it’s crap.

So I’m screwed … again. BY microsoft’s ‘productivity’ software.

If I ever buy another microdots product, kick me.

FUN: shouldas, couldas, and wouldas

Saturday, May 3, 2008

The shouldas, couldas, and wouldas will kill you.

“Should have” indicates remorse over the non-choice of an competing option. (I should have had a baked potatoe as opposed to the french fries I did have.)

“Could have” indicates remorse over a choice that wasn’t known to be available at decision time. (I didn’t know that baked sweet potatoes were an option.)

“Would have” indicates remorse over not being able to take subsequent choice which was precluded by an earlier decision. (If I hadn’t eaten so many french fries, I’d have had room for a slice of apple pie.)

I have no more information. {Sargent Shultz says “I know nuthin, Nuting, Nothing at all”!} I put it all in the post. Writing me for more info is a waste of your time and mine.

If you’re interested, leave a blog comment with your name and email. I’ll either send you the contact info, or forward your info to them. Depending upon what they prefer. Either way, you’ll get something back from me.

Note: Don’t put your email in the comment itself unless you want spam from a trollbot. The comment form allows you to put your name, email, and website address.

You might want to include a link to a http://www.emurse.com/ resume or such similar site. I recommend making oneself easy to be found.

You might want to take time to write a short cover on it. You never know who reads these things. You might find your own lead from it (i.e., someone, looking to hire an X, finds me saying someone is looking for X, and ‘poaches’ all the people who responded.). YMMV

Good luck and good hunting.
