    Well yeah, I'm against the current education system too, which would also undergo remodeling.
    I am a supporter of what I call self-propelled education, going out and researching things yourself.
    Personally, in school, I would spend more time tapping my fingers on the desk and staring at the clock, feeling claustraphobic in that little desk. I support more free education such as libraries and personal research and writing, rather than a default teacher's edition book that all kids read.

    Gilligan when you said, this is what happens, i thought you might be insulting me haha.

    wait, were you?

    Oh come on now. Let's not pick on Enron. All they did was take out 800 subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands to avoid paying taxes. :)

    And you think Capitalism has been proven to work? Wars, poverty, pollution, people dying of stress, yes such a great success.

    you guys keep proving my theories right.
    seperate government must be abolished in order for people to take responsability over their own lives back. then we will get smarter and learn the natural level of compassion without hypocritical society getting us into wars while teaching us to "embrace diversity" at the same time.
    money must evolve to the collective market where everyone can have everything for free, no competition for the dollar, rather competition to progress the limit of greatness.
    free education, self-educated folks who are smart in unique specialties rather than herded through public school like cows in a slaughter house.

    weve got to stop arguing over capitalism or communism and instead make something new and better than both of them.

    then we will take over the world! muwahahahaha

    Boy did you miss an opportunity. I thought you were going to say that Enron did what any capitalist entity would do: try to minimize costs and increase profit. :)

    Change your sig to "If YOU'RE so special, how come you ain't dead?"

    YOU'RE = YOU ARE (not your)

    Even commies like you need to learn how to spell.

    The way I feel is like, fighting and arguing people about communism may make you feel lik you are smart, and the fact that you can call yourslef a communist is kind of appealing...but even if you think that it could work, your in no position of power to make that change, so why don't you argue something that can actually make a difference?

    Peace and Love,
    Dan

    4get Bush. how about nearly every british pm who served at the height of the british empire and after? each one has blood on his (and her) hands. how about nixon and kissinger? together these 2 destroyed vietnam, laos, cambodia and chile, and that's just 4 starters. and the very sad thing about their style of despotic genocide is that they laid waste to the asian countryside which has a miserable long term effect. my landlord who comes from vietnam has got a terribly retarded child who is the living consequence of that family's exposure to agent orange put there by the usa. so the damage lives on... i am no fan of stalin, mao or any of the other communist despots either and i agree with all u have said about them here. now open the other eye and see that the same atrocities are perpetrated by our own side.


    read a little about what occured in the former soviet union when the harvard university went there to supervise their transition from state run economy to market capitalism if u want an instructive lesson in economic rationality and real life exam,ples. it's a real eye opener. the section in nicholas guyatt's book 'another american century?' entitled "russia: 'i can't tell u what happened'" spells it all out (pp 27-34). many people from the fsu who remember breschnev say (the ones i've talked to and these are quite a few) that they pine 4 the days of communism when everyone had jobs, houses and pensions: capitalism has not been kind to any of them. the life expectancy of a man in russia has gone from the mid seventies (when they had a fairly comprehensive health system) to 48 today (no public health: it's every dog for himself). the population is going backwards and has decreased by, if memory serves me well, 20 million or more. there was no homelessness be4, now it's endemic. i am not, i repeat, not advocating a return to the old system but i am pointing out 2 u that the situation is far less black and white, good guys versus bad guys, then u might think.
