No Draft Just Lists Of Possibles

This is also from the article and quite interesting to me;
"Recruiters are up-front about their plans to use school lists to aggressively pursue students through mailings, phone calls, and personal visits -- even if parents object. "The only thing that will get us to stop contacting the family is if they call their congressman," says Major Johannes Paraan, head U.S. Army recruiter for Vermont and northeastern New York. "Or maybe if the kid died, we'll take them off our list.""

Maybe???

If I stand for my country today...will my country be here to stand for me tomorrow?

Thank you for that one, Whalen. I am teaching a methods class this semester. My students are Lakota of all ages. I asked them what they expected out of their college education. Most, if not all, said they were preparing for a job. "Oh," I said. "So you want to be a soldier or a Wall Mart employee." That really shocked them because this is not what they have been told. "Well then, you better take a closer look at public education, expecially No Child Left Behind. What do you think standardized testing is all about? Bush and his cronies don't give a rat's ass if the child is learning anything useful or soul satisfying. He wants to know that you can and will shut up and take orders without questioning. That includes teachers and administrators as well. If you don't do as we say, we will cut off funding to your school. So everyone snaps to attention."

One bright young man, just out of high school asked, " What if you don't agree?"

"Well, there's always detention for you. That's where you will find the brightest kids. In detention." He laughed and laughed. I suspect he might have found himself in detention a time or two.

Now, whenever I ask the question, what are you preparing for, he loves to answer a soldier and Wall Mart employee. This news really authenticates my remarks. Thank you.

Isn't the dubya admin just a wonderful bunch of do-gooders ??

Insanity Rocks in the USA !!

This is evident above here that most are! Or this guy is a Imperialist, Anti-Canadian Canadian!

This is a good time to mention that on CBCNW this Thursday, Oct.21st at 10pm EST so 7pm PST Rough Cuts is doing a documentary titled "Stupidity". This is the description:
ROUGH CUTS
(Thursday October 21 at 10pm ET, repeating Saturday October 23 at 10pm ET/PT)
STUPIDITY (premiere)
Stupidity is Albert Nerenberg's hard-hitting and often hilarious look at stupidity as a driving force in society. The documentary is a controversial investigation into what may be a characteristic unique to our species-a chronic resistance to intelligence. Stupidity sets out to determine whether our culture is hooked on deliberate ignorance as a strategy for success. From Adam Sandler to George W. Bush, from the IQ test to TV programming and the origins of the word 'moron', Nerenberg examines the "dumbing down" of contemporary culture.
Directed by: Albert Nerenberg

Tonight Passionate Eye is showing: "The world according to Bush". CBCNW 10pm EST and 7pm PST. The description said something like it would scare even the most hardened Republican.

A letter to the editor in the Sunday Star:

"After watching 3 US presidential debates and one vice-presidential debate, reality finally sank in: if anything had happened to vice-president dick cheney during the last 4 years, the fate of the free world would have been in the hands of george w. bush.

Menachem Ailenberg, Toronto.

**************************

Scary thought, eh ??

dubya the puppet, and cheney the master. Don't forget, it was cheney in 1997 that wanted to go into Iraq. Dubya had to toe the party line when he was "elected." CBC had a program on this the other night, and since my power source is limited, I missed it. Darn !

My buddy says it was great, and clearly showed the power of dick cheney, he picked HIMSELF as the best choice for VP !!!!

That really rocks !!

Tis truly a sad thing to see administrators bully and badger their teachers and students into believing they HAVE to pass those standardized tests or ELSE!! No backbone. A place where you will really find spinelessness is in American education. Probably because they have spent years of filling those textbooks with crap. 'Tis truly pitiful. Little kids come into school loving it; wanting to learn. By the time they are 3rd graders, they are mean and mad. From there on, it is down hill because no real knowledge is taught in school. If you want to learn something, you have to go to the library go to the Internet. Americans truly do come in first in stupidity.

thanks for the heads up 4Canada, I watched and am about to watch again, very in depth info, surprised by the fact that it's on t.v. at all, not that the info hasn't been around for awhile but Wow the fact that all these CIA and people in the know are speaking out! Hope they can see it in the U.S.??

To Mrs. Schmidt: What gives you the right to 'teach' your students with such a liberal bias? You and the rest of your commiecrat friends need to keep your politics out of the classroom. That's absurd and you should be ashamed of yourself. Whether you lean to the left or lean to the right or don't lean at all, anybody with a shred of principles know that political indoctrination in public learning institutions is WRONG.

it will be shown in the USA after the election

"If a spotted hyena stepped out of Air Force One wearing a baby-blue necktie, most Americans would salute and sing 'Hail to the Chief.'"

http://www.populist.com/04.10.crowther.html

"Ron Suskind's profile of George W. Bush reminded me eerily of Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party. Suskind portrays Bush as filled with unwarranted certainty, sure that God is speaking and working through him, and convinced that decisive action shapes reality in ways that make it unnecessary to first study reality."

//There, buried deep within the law's 670 pages, is a provision requiring public secondary schools to provide military recruiters not only with access to facilities//

I thought this was something they could already do, in every state funded school.

Soldiers of Fortune? by John Horvath (2004 February 27)
http://www.heise.de/tp/english/inhalt/co/16842/1.html

Excerpt from article linked above:

"Naturally, the first place American recruiters focus on are the schools. Under US law, publicly funded schools must allow military recruiters access. Recruitment usually takes place during organised "career days". The package they sell is often effective, especially in schools where the students are not so well off."
