On second thought

On second thought, I can't do something I will hate for the rest of my life.

I've got to do something with my life that offers me substantially more freedom.

Teaching just isn't going to do it, at this point. Not the way it is governed today.

I've got to do something where I can be happy.

And that cannot be education, given the illiberal direction we have taken.

I don't know. We'll see.

How politics really works

Most of the time, though noone will admit it, this is how politics really works.



When random opinion trumps more substantial and honest reason, this is what you get.

I'm pretty sure we can do better.

Hitler

I think I now understand how Hitler was able to do what he did in Germany.

Because people are, too often, stupid, scared, mean and lazy. And they will believe just about anything they are told.

Until they don't.
