Do you really think the people that run this country want well educated, critically thinking citizens?

I would post a thoughtful response, but what's the point when it'd get blocked by the tinfoil anyway?

I just showed that in Calculus class about 2 weeks ago - made for an entertaining way to quickly (very) review material from the first half of the year.

Yes and when you watch it around others the looks on their faces is priceless because you can tell the ones that have no idea what they're watching. That guy is good even if he sounds like a late night infomercial. :laugh:

I always thought that 1980 and 1990 should have been switched. The 80s were really hardcore about environmental bullshit and "feelings"

I felt like we started getting our sanity back re. the environment by the end of the 90s. In the 80s people pretty much decided that nuclear was an unviable option due to nuclear waste. By the 90s people started realizing that it's a small price to pay if it gets us off coal and oil. That's just one example.

Agreed. Graduated in 03. Of course I went to a good school, but this is the type of shit they teach in elementary schools. I understand it is supposed to be humor, but the funny is not found.
