It appears that the censors have struck again and remove a thoughtful and fair-minded discussion. I have had enough I will never again contribute to HN.

A fair enough question. 1) Of course private education can be superior, but it also can be corrupted by political and religious agendas as it is commonly being done today. Mandator…

There is alway room for improvement, but education requires constant thoughtful observation and adjustments. When I talk to my sister who was a teacher, I am impressed about the de…

How do you disrupt public education? You do what certain political activists have done during the past 70 or so years. 1) You relax the laws that require public education using the…

Russia withdrew its gold reserves from the US about 6 months before it first invaded one of it's neighbors, Georgia I think it was. In retrospect it is a clear sign that Russia's i…

One would think from this title that I share more fake news than younger people. I'm 72. I don't share news at all. What is "more fake news"? Is it that some individuals share more…

I spend maybe 30 minutes a day on New and just a minute or two on the Front Page. New is where all the interesting and thoughtful stuff is. The Front Page is pretty dull. I think o…

I understand. As a camp host I experience just a little of what he's talking about. I swear there are actually people who ask wether there are lions and tigers around. (I'm in the …

I would feel skittish without a more formal structure.

I play it by ear and just let my decision happen without worrying about. If I don't remember where it is, a system-wide search eventually leads me to it. Just browsing through the …

I do. I climbed stairs for 45 minutes four days a week for 2 decades. At 70 I was doing 1780 steps at a time. After my metatarsals complained, I began interval training on a statio…

I look at that differently. My favorite epigram goes like this: Very few worthwhile projects are ever successful on the first attempt. Failure is just another useful metric giving …

I keep all my very current projects on the desktop along with temporary items and odd-balls I haven't classified. Everything else goes into folder called "A Reference System" which…
