I disagree. There are many artists that make money that are less talented then artist who are not making money. I would say that it is more about who you know then what you know. Sure, you have to have enough talent to perform, but talent will only take you so far. You have to have the right connections to get to the point that you start making real money.

It isn't the downloaded, but the seeding that get's one in trouble. It isn't that he downloaded two songs, but that he seeded two songs to a mutuality of people and each person is a new case of infringement.

But the problem is that he isn't being charged with "stealing" in the idea that he took something worth $1. It's that he gave that $1 item away for free a multitude of times.

So it isn't the 1 song he downloaded, but the song that he gave away a multitude of times.

At least, that is my understanding. They don't go after the downloader, they go after the seeder.

What do you disagree with? A or B or Both?

A) Nor is it the fault of the teachers. Teachers cannot be held responsible to teach what isn't in the standards.

B) A reason why National Standards would be beneficial.

If A - Do you feel teachers should be held responsible for standards they are not required to teach?

If B - Do you feel that common standards from state to state would be a negative thing for teachers/students?

I never said anything Pro MSNBC or any other station. I just pointed out my agreement with the idea that FOX News does not apologize for it misleading or false statements.

This needs repeating:

That's because Fox News doesn't apologize

With exceptions (like New York), Unions protect teachers but leave in ways to remove poorly performing teachers. It just requires that the Principal go through steps to try and help the teacher succeed before removing them (or at least give them an opportunity to “shape up” before they “ship out”).
