Is Google Making Students Stupid?

Socrates was against the new technology of his era - writing. The Internet's ability to allow comments and dialogue partially mitigates his objections. In another complaint about writing it was asserted that the ability to look things up in a book was making people stupid, since memorized texts ensured that a student was aware of all aspects of the situation. If one had not memorized the text, how would one know that the book was applicable to the problem at hand. http://ift.tt/1gvIL2S

Elizabeth Warren Calls For Investigation Of NY Fed Over Secret Tapes

HuffPost said:"One Goldman Sachs executive allegedly said that “once clients became wealthy enough, certain consumer laws didn’t apply to them.” That is factually true. Some consumer protection laws laws do not apply to high net worth individuals. They can make risky investments that are sold by investment companies that are not available to the man in the street - which is probably appropriate. Great example of an incendiary and misleading headline.

These are the regions where Americans are most likely to favor secession

Many would be happy to see them go. A national referendum on which states should be kicked out of the USA should be held. Actually, the USA is not a Union. It is a Federation. That is why we have a Federal government and State governments. The President delivers a "State of the Union" address, but that is a sloppy use of the term.

Snap Out of It

" In 1960, 5 percent of Republicans and 4 percent of Democrats said they would be displeased if their children married someone of the opposite party. By 2010, Cass Sunstein observes, those numbers had jumped to 49 percent and 33 percent. How small-minded can you get?"
