I'm with you brother. Life is too short. My neighbors and I have been doing Friday night happy hours for almost a year, always outside. Many with a fire going and outside movies shown on the side of my RV. The 6 of us look forward to t

My grandfather was a farmer in Ohio. He was always very worried that I, as a small child, would get in the field and be hit and killed by his tractor. This may have been because he did accidentally kill a dog once this way.

I love your "it adds up" comment. I will steal this. It is very true for me as well. Several years ago, I started using make extensively. Not to compile, but to automate. Make understands failing and dependencies. Also, bash and z

For parents that want to help their kids with STEM, First Robotics (high schools around the world) is amazing. I was a mentor on a team for many years. See https://www.firstinspires.org/ . There are other programs for young

Why this now? Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=siS8jlTcUzo&ab_c... . I did. The VMPI's number one goal (21:13) is to "Improve equity in mathematics learning opportunities". Note that

The goal is make Americans equal. Singaporeans will be far ahead. In truth, they already are.

I can only guess you are not in a STEM career. I am an electrical engineer. When I was 14, I did not know I would become one. I use math in my work every day. If Mr. Funacello (Norwood High) has not taught me Algebra I and II (had him twic

True, kids are not robots. One must assume America can live with less American scientists and engineers. As the years pass, fewer and fewer. Who will create the next vaccine technology? Probably won't be an American.

The only solution is to move one's children into a private school. That if one can afford this. So much for equality of opportunity... "There is a great deal of ruin in a nation" - Adam Smith As each day passes, America has a

Thank you for sharing a difficult part of your family history. This should never be forgotten. I have several friends that grew up in Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland. All of them have horror stories. All left their homes to escape commu

Ummm, free speech. Feel free to ignore. Mao arguably murdered more humans than anyone else in history. Read a book or two.

You did not read what I wrote. Point 1: Over a hundred million human beings have died because of communism. Point 2: More die every day in China. There was a "period" between. Why the hostility? Stalin Mao killed many many millio

Shouldn't that be listed on the Capitalism page?

Read the communism page. Does it mention the hundred million plus dead because of communism? Only "Excess deaths"...

"Unfortunately I feel our society and current pop culture somehow feeds this problem, but I can't pinpoint how." Maybe the problem is that government began focusing on this with the War on Poverty? Maybe this focus is how our
