life was never meant to be fair.

life will never be fair.

almost everything within our lives is not fair!!!

we weren’t born with the inalienable right to impartial ‘fairness’.

fairness is an idea that people have created.

we created this idea…..this concept to torture ourselves, in fact.

when we finally accept this fact of life, we can move beyond it and begin to overcome some of those impediments.

perhaps it isn’t such an awful thing that teachers aren’t getting rewarded/paid as much nowadays, as much, that is, as they feel that they should…….[dont we all?]

……for the level of academic and communicative skills many possess [currently] is severely lacking in erudition and sufficient wisdom, at least compared to my experience of past endeavors/teachers when I attended high school and va. tech……

nowadays, everyone seems to claim that if you throw more money at the governmental installed education system ‘everything else’ will fall into place.

conceivably, the whole ‘process’ could be enhanced if we [particularly for those tax-payers who still have faith in governmental established schooling doctrine] required higher performance standards from the teachers, administrative personnel, aids and students!

for instance, i just paid almost $200 dollars [not including the book] to have a college teacher assume that the CSS/Dreamweaver MX book, with the accompanying study aids from course.com, should/will be the primary source to becoming skilled at website development this semester.

if I wanted you to recite the book and guides, line-for-line, what need would I have for you mr. Lard-Man?

Is this becoming the norm now, bc it sure increasingly feels like it…..principally in the last 2 years.

Addressing the teacher doesn’t help.
Addressing the division heads doesn’t help.
Addressing the academic advisors doesn’t help.
Addressing the curriculum presidents doesn’t help.

Why do colleges charge more while performing less adequately?

all the while, my scholarship peddlers & financial aid keep questioning why I continue to drop classes and change curriculums…..since that might ‘harm’ my chances of receiving further assistance.

Btw, addressing my concerns to them doesn’t help either.

i wonder why?

…teach me you fooking bastardz….i WANT to learn!

Drum machines never put drummers out of work…automation just opened up the sound and groove palette of music.

Music talent can now be measured in new ways: sound design and programming, which became the criteria of the sublime – not the athleticism intrinsic to acoustic performative instruments.

*message to self/brain/soul*

could you, for once, stop over-analyzing/probing/dissecting the MUSIC and enjoy it?

you know…..how you used to?

thanx!

Sen. Alan Nunnelee, R-Tupelo, wants to make nonpayment of child support a felony that is punishable with up to a $10,000 fine and two years in jail. “We’re under federal sanctions and stand to lose a good bit of federal money”, because of the state’s poor collection rate for child support, he said.

Notice Senator Nunnelee’s concern for the parents and children. [not] Just more proof that it’s only and all about the money, not about the children.

It’s crap, dressed up like a pig at the 4-H exhibit.

For an explicit explanation of what’s happening here, go rent the pilot
episode of Star Trek the Next Generation (Encounter at Farpoint).

What a crock of OBE (that’s Odiferous Bovine Excrement, for the unaware out there).

Ok……not really……….and still, very interesting>>>

He says humans will download their minds into computers one day. With a new robotics firm, Hans Moravec begins the journey from warehouse drones to robo-sapiens………..
