Comment Re:Well duh...Economics 101. (Score 1) 1797

It could be time to revisit Economics 101. It could be wrong.

The solution might be to have the government completely pay for education to match the public education system, as is done at the elementary and secondary level.

It is a myth that private enterprise can always do something better and cheaper than the government. Health care is an example of this. With the exception of the U.S., most other developed countries have some form of government run single-payer system. These countries provide health care to all their citizens at less cost on a per capita basis and as a percentage of GDP. Fifty million are not left uninsured as is the case in the U.S.

It is possible that complete government financing of could provide better education at lower cost. It should at least be discussed.

Comment TARDIS - New flying machine (Score 1) 289

I have developed a new flying machine: TARDIS - Time and Relative Dimension In Space. It is compact on the outside and much bigger on the inside. It can go anywhere and land inside buildings without destroying them. It can travel through time, so if people die you can go back in time and save them. I expect it will revolutionize travel. It does require a black hole for power, but I expect to have those problems resolved in five years. (For those of you who are not familiar with this technology, check out this Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TARDIS)

Comment Let legislators experience no net neutrality (Score 1) 388

I have an idea. Any elected officials that vote against net neutrality should be forced to wait 24 hours before any of their e-mail, including staff, is sent or received, and make them wait wait at least 5 minutes for each web page they access. Further, if they are in a car, make them wait an extra 15 minutes to get a real taste of no net neutrality. Of course in Washington, D.C., they may notice an extra 15 minute wait in a car.
