in opposition to your political ambition of putting all government employees out of work
Oh, far from it!
[tasteless_joke] I'd rather put all government employees in work camps [/tasteless_joke]
By which I really mean to say, if you're just going to ascribe ambitions to me wantonly, why not go big?
you would still be a government employee working for the community college.
If one enjoys teaching, is it really work?
Although it seems a lot of your heroes have been collecting checks from the government for some time, so maybe that doesn't bother you.
Are you asserting that government employees should work for free? Wouldn't that be, essentially, stealing their labor from them? A shockingly immoral thought.
Criminal law should be used only if a person intentionally flouts the law or engages in conduct that is morally blameworthy or dangerous.
For example, cannibalism and child molestation are two taboos that remain substantially beyond the pale.
Well that's the whole problem: democracy is subject to the voters, so if the voters are blithering idiots, well you're not going to get a very good government.
This is why democracy simply doesn't work in countries with moronic, uneducated populaces such as Zimbabwe, Egypt, or the United States.
You also just recently bitched about how much you despise community college.
The last time I thought about community college, I was wondering to myself if I could convince the wife to move out west, where I'm from, and live a relaxed rural existence and teach a little Comp Sci at SWOCC. Perhaps you've confused me with another of your compadres.
I always thought Pascal was better for most purposes than C and its offspring.
Ok, has anyone ever written an OS kernel in Pascal? How about bare-metal code which tweaks registers?
