I think this comes from boats used for free time. They cost a lot and you spend relativly little time on it.

Now if you live on the boat you are using it which would make it more economical however I'm sure the upkeep and fuel costs more than a house would.

Make sure you're marching is very peaceful. Don't want the government to label you a 'terrorist'. You may never seen sunlight again.

I agree we need to test but I think the problem is what we do with the test scores. It should be a natural goal for a school to raise it's test scores as time goes on. Learning the correct way to do things and improve. The main issue I see is how funding is provided to schools based on the scores. It makes everyone focus solely on the scores because each administer is trying to get money to run the school which is based on how they test. Provides the wrong kind of message. We should be passively looking at these scores and sending additional support to schools that are low not basing how much money the school gets based on them.

It will be interesting to see when the banks have the same fallout we had in 1929. How much wealth actually exists?

This article makes a good point about how we can't know. Too many shady things are happening and no regulation to figure it out.

Its nice to see successful tech companies actually fighting some patents. It makes me sad to see Apple Microsoft IBM etc just pay patent trolls because it is cheaper to do so than defeating the patents.

Man I was really looking forward to this. Now I'll have to go learn elsewhere.

Wish I was in school looking for an internship.
