    Those who follow sports, particularly the NFL, are likely familiar with the New Orleans Saints "Bountygate" scandal.

  • Vote "No" on SB 24 "Education Reform"
    Governor Malloy's sponsored bill for education "reform" ignores decades of research and data on educational reform, and instead seeks a "fix" for something that is not broken: teacher certification, evaulation, and retention. True reformers should read Jaime Vollmer's book, Schools Can't Do It Alone.

    The University of California Trustees are giving themselves outrageous increases in salaries and benefits (which are already outrageous) at a time when they are raising tuition for students. These decisions should be taken from the hands of the "Trustees" and left to the discretion of the voters.

  • The need to develop human capital in the US
    My daughter currently owes $150,000 because she went to architecture school. Her skills are immensely valuable to the nation - she should not have to bear the entire burden of paying for her specialized educationl. All the structures in this country have to be converted to green, self-sufficient energy in the coming decades if we are to survive the energy crisis and architects are, therefore, needed for national security for the US.
