I theorise, political systems don't like change, because what made the rich “robber barons” corporate board of directors chairman; corporate upper management; voted into an easy working high waged beginning at $200,000 each year, CPI highly rewarding retirement (having heard $100,000 a year) pensions' federal parliament public office by fooling voters, bad education keeps citizenry stupid enough to believe propaganda lies. That to be allowed in the “there's-room-at-the-top” system, candidates much follow and support the existing system rules as stands.

How do you mean, Steve ?

Dear Steve,

Many teaching problems will be solved in the
next few decades. There will be new learning
environments and new means of instruction.
One function however, will always remain with
the teacher: to create the emotional climate
for learning. No machine, sophisticated as it
may be, can do this job.

As long as I live I'll loathe my Maths teacher.
She was the meanest woman I knew before I was
ten. She was a master of the double insult:
"Stupid idiot!"
"Silly fool!"
"Dumb blockhead!"

Like a snake, she always has fresh venom.
When she finally fell sick, the whole class
celebrated.

Then I remember my English teacher. She was
different. She delighted in our company.
In her presence, we felt important; what we
thought made a difference. She believed
in us and guided us, appealing to our pride
and imagination. The world needs your talents,
she would assure us. She taught us that in
every situation we can become part of the
solution, or part of the problem. Her words
still ring true to me today and affect my life
for the better.

Teachers make a world of difference in a child's
life. Bullying can be stamped out by the right
influences.

the ' gay' lobby are the biggest bullies in this country today.

The gay lobby are the biggest bullies?
according to runner.

They'd have to get in line after Christian churches and their
organisations -and agencies -
and the decades of abuse inflicted on innocent children.
The horrendous sexual abuse of children and the intolerable
failures of the churches and their organisations to deal with
the abuse effectively has done immeasurable damage to victims.
Then there's also the cover-ups, the protection of abusive
individuals and the refusal to admit egregious mistakes are
unjustifiable.

I remember reading about Alan Turing who created one of
the first computers and helped us to win WWII. For
engaging in homosexual acts he was made to take female
hormones (chemical castration) which resulted in him growing
breasts as a side effect. He committed suicide at the age of
42.

There is a natural fear of what is different. However this is
the 21st Century so instead of fearing and complaining about
how others live let us focus on how we live and what we can
change to make everyone's lives better.
