C-Span: Governors meeting: Was that a Dem or rethug that...

[slor]

was talking about, how having only a H.S. diploma is fine in America? He almost sounded like even that is too much. I guess after they destroy Social Security, they will go after all that fancy book learning you get from High School! These fools really do want a dumb electorate.

1. They are already after the fancy book learning. It's the college jobs

that are being sent overseas now - programming, computer experts, financial analysts.

2. Karl is on the record somewhere saying too much education

is a a bad thing because as people become more educated, they tend to vote Democratic. So yes, the Repubs need to destroy the higher education centers and leave everyone barely capable of understanding the pap on Fox "News."

5. Please...can you find that quote? n/t

[yankeedem]

3. What do you need college for?

All you need is to know how to read, so you can read the Bible, and, well, that's pretty much it! Cash registers at Walmart add up the numbers by themselves so you don't need arithmetic.

4. Why bother with that

How about just teaching people how to sign their name so they can
enlist.
