Not at all, things are true regardless of how the news reports them. I looked at this from sociological POV not a GW science position. So wether or not GW is true makes no difference in my assessment.

I also could add Al Gore to the major fear mongers also. According to Al Gore we are just over three years from end of the earth.

The real problems are the hype and more pressing concerns to people.

This is why you never ever ask for a jury trial on speeding ticket. The jury will toss everything out and find you guilty of speeding. USe the judge and the law to get out of the ticket.

OMG I will never use mens toilets again. I do not want prostate cancer.

I AM NOT TAKING SIDES.
1. People look back and see that the claims (at least in media) have been over the top. According to Kyoto we are past the point of no return. So why bother.

2. (and more important) people are far more concerned right now about the here and now. Real unemployment over 10%. Devalue of money. Price of gas, food, housing, clothing and everything else people need. People are far more concerned with kitchen table issues right now. People are worried about the here and now not about 50 years from now or even 3 years from now.

Two Analogies.

"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain." -- John Adams.

Right now we are back at the level of politics and war. (Not the most perfect analogy but it will do for now.) And the GW folks wants people to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, and the rest. Just not going to happen.

OR to place this on the Maslow pyramid. People are worried about food, water, shelter (basic needs) for the future and for now or at least the safety needs. And the GW people want self-actualization or at least the esteem needs. Just not going to happen.

I have had two monitors for over 15 years now. Why would you NOT use two?

I do not program. I am just far more efficient with two.

FOIA is the real issue here. Who really cares that there is more Web 2.0 (in the big scheme of things). After all they are putting up and highlighting stuff that makes Obama look good.

Real transparency comes from allowing people to see records. In this case, the administration has failed without any mitigation.

So by FOIA this is one of the most closed presidents.

Do you really want to stay at help desk level 1 forever? Where I work at, the entery level person can have a HS diploma. To get a real promotion you need a BA degree.

Have to agree with this. the other advantage that I missed - you pay by term and not by class. As many classes as you can cram in . . . all the better.

I earned a degree from WGU. I also did it in record time. Why? Life experience. I went for a teaching degree. I already had a 4yr degree in an area that was not able to be certified. I did the program that suited me. I needed another BA.

I was able to whip through the program quickly, because I had already been teaching for three years. I know the core stuff of the degree. I had taught and was able to draw on experiences for the papers on: make a plan to do XXX.

Time was a another factor. I was able to work at my own pace. Which turned out to be 8-12 hours a day, 5-6 days a week.

Oh yeah. no problem getting a job. One interview. One job.

But why? Are you not being short sighted. there are many reasons to go to an online school.

Let me see if understand this correctly:

Bush's FTC stopped this horrid piece of software from infecting a persons machine.

Obama's FTC allows allows this spyware into the world.

Can someone remind which party is for 'the little guy'.

Wow am I glad we voted Obama in.

Oops, I did not notice that WB already does this to RedBox. I rent all my movies from RedBox. I guess they are really sticking it to me.

Does not Wii Fit already do this?

Another way to make life suck even more. I bet this is a deal with the new health care system to make more people kill themselves.
