I was not arguing for teacher diversity* from a perspective of political correctness, I'm simply saying that we should not reject out-of-hand the notion that some groups learn better/more effectively from a member of their own race*.

* Whatever that may mean.

Can you explain how third-generation Mexican-Americans speak English with a Spanish accent? Some cultures are more clannish than others, and outsiders will always BE outsiders.

Great idea. I'm going to stop using subroutines, too.

Probably more like "Docs out of date with production code, film at 11".

'HACK' or do not. There is no 'THINK'.

Now I have somewhere to put my advertised "unlimited retension" Usenet servers!

We're a corporation, damn it. We should be allowed to do whatever we want, whenever we want it. Your petty concerns about the public airspace are needlessly impeding our relentless drive for profit profit profit. Maybe some generous campaign contributions will help you see things our way.

Well, in all fairness, they were instrumental in finding a cure for quadrophenia.

That requires change, our politicians seem to hate that.

And by that, you mean "big agribusiness" seems to hate that, because it restricts their ability to profit from socializing externalized costs. (i.e. dumping the problem onto society at large).

Virtual water is just a stopgap until they come up with 3D printed water.

FORTHLOVE IF HONK THEN

You're just upset because hi's grammar is correcter than your's.

Don't hold your breath. I lost a 800K account years ago after one of their "upgrades"; seems they couldn't be bothered to parse a nick with a "special" character in it - the complete lack of give-a-fuck on their part was breathtaking. Hence my current nick.

Nah. Lots of corporate campaign contributions, a few Federal lawsuits, and then there'll be a lot of sound bites about "getting the government off our backs" and "deregulation" and "states rights" and hey presto! we'll be back to monopolistic rent-seeking before you know it.

The irony of your post vs your sig is delicious. Meanwhile, I can't help wondering how long it will take some future Republican administration to unroll this, so the big ISPs can go back to rent-seeking.
