But the Neocons love this :thumbsdown:


and they think it is a wonderful job market.

Exactly where is the flaw in the 40 hour work week? 90% of the people I've ever worked with d1ck around for at least half the day and get about as much accomplished. Work smarter and harder, not longer. Why waste more time away from the people you love and the things you really want to do than you have to?

The countries to be afraid of are India and Pakistan, both are well on thier way(if not doing so already by some standards) to surpassing the US in educating their children.

Lots of countries educate their children better than the US. It's hardly a new development. Relating to India and Pakistan in particular, they're education systems are pretty bad. Many people there only get few years of schooling.
