Yes, our corporations are anti-capitalistic by design. They take capital and remove the owners ability to control it.

This software is probably scanning the network and your solution will block broadcasts. He would be better off figuring out how to change the IP's, it's probably trivial, and just plug them all into a switch or hub when he is onsite.
Then the software can do it's broadcast to find the nodes it wants to update and update them.

The Canadians can afford to pay for a simple test because they don't have bills for 20 different doctors that consulted their chart.

So, bring back child labor...?

You can cast is as class theft, but it is generational as well. The last generation broke many social contracts, one of them was the CEO theft of wages.

It was supported as a compromise. When I say self supporting I don't mean it pays for itself, I mean the funds are available for the programs, instead of a feast or famine support the poor program.

Maybe the ID is free, but tracking down the birth certificate, SS card, and other identifying information is not free and very difficult for many people.

I'm more scared of the GOP presidential staff. Electing a Republican will see the return of Norquist, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzolez, etc.

Are you including things like this in your calculations?

The democrats want a self supporting social net. The republicans want to throw a nickel in someone's hat once in awhile.

Well, how many young ceo's are there?

Yes, and brave men banded together and outlawed those practices. Thank god for Unions, right?

The new (CC) stuff seems better for those really interested in math, maybe the old rote memorization of algorithms is better for everyone else?
Bingo!
It's also better for making people develop an interest in math.

Looking at those websites, it appears that they both serve a sort of missionary purpose. I'm not sure that translates globally. There are people willing to dump money into "saving souls" that they won't dump into lifting up the people around them.

I would argue that, "sign this or your fired", qualifies as duress.

School districts are so insulated from "the Fed" it's not even funny. They are often full of cronysim and swindlers because the are run on the local level instead of having strong oversight.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard of a superintendent or principal pulling some high handed paternal bullshit because he/she thinks parents are morons, I'd be a rich man. Voter apathy dilutes the voice of any parent and allows the school district to run roughshod over it's community. Parents are definitely part of the problem, but Administrators are a bigger part. Teachers take all the flack when they are the ones actually helping things, usually.

Free public education for all is one of the bedrocks of our democracy and it led us to be the world power that we are today. It's sad to see so many maroons trying to dismantle this system.
