RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

bitter, bitter

OK, back to normal commentary. Today I take on war and public education. Here are a few things that will crush your will to care.

The whole thing is broken by design.

All wars, every single one that’s ever been fought has been fought over either land, resources or a combination of these two things. Leaders and power brokers of the time create wars by claiming that they’re about other things like God, ideology or the nation. This is true from from Egypt to Osama bin Laden. Anyone who says it isn’t true is wrong. Sure people fight and die for other reasons, but none of those dead people ever started a war.

Moving on, Public Education is under funded on purpose. An educated population is not in the best interest of the state. This is well understood across the third world. No one in the U.S. seems to notice or care. If you don’t believe me, then why are public schools funded by local property taxes? Why do private schools exist at all?

I was once in a class at Penn where all the students from countries across South America (the elite of their respective countries) made this point to us stupid Americans. “Why is it so hard for you to believe. You’re no different.” And we aren’t. I’ve mentioned these things before on this site, but they’re worth repeating.

With all that said, I endorse Michael Nutter for mayor of Philadelphia. Thank you and goodnight.
