in the multitude of years i spent in school and in degree collecting (please don't ask), i saw plenty of good and excellent teachers/professors. and also plenty of pathetic excuses for such. all we non-educational-employed folks understood was that "tenure" was the generally accepted excuse for such "non-excellent" (to use today's parlance) members of faculty. so yes, i don't know tenure.
oversimplifying the issue is typical/standard reductionist fare derived from our quite flawed, but accepted and still taught "scientific method" and of general convenience.
translation: it's never just one thing, but focusing on just one thing is much easier, even if it only represents a portion of the problem. alternatively: nothing exists in isolation.
and that's all imina say 'bout that. :biggrin:

Just when I thought yer head was on straight, ya start talking like that idiot Palin. The Rupert Murdoch influence, no doubt? (He's having the same effect in Oz, re climate change.)

Firewood Purveyor
Well, the professor got educated, when I drove by his place this morning I noticed a quite of bit if wood stacked beside the house. Wood was stacked between fence post driven 8' a part. Stopped by the parts store, the father, his son and another young man went out with a truck and 24' gooseneck trailer, and hauled the wood up to the house and proceeded to stack it. The professor wanted to know what they were doing and the father explained the only accurate and fair way to measure wood was to get it stacked properly, that he and his boys were going to stack it and expected to be paid when finished stacking, if that was a problem they would simply call the sheriff's office and have them come out and document the services rendered, take photo's of the amount of wood and then he would go see the prosecutor, and in the meantime he would place a large sign under glass on the parts counter, naming him by name with a warning statement explaining to people what transpired and be very cautious before doing any type work for the individual. I take it he explained that if it were him that had done the work he would be taking it out of his azz, but was trying to teach his son that there were more effective ways to deal with the issue without damaging one's future by possibly getting a criminal record.
He also explained in such a small rural area that word would travel fast about what kind of worthless A-hole he was and he would need good luck trying to find anyone that would provide any service without cash upfront, whether it be electrical work, plumbing, mechanic work etc. The guys cop out was he just really didn't know how to properly measure wood, and he really thought people would wait to get paid, I take it that conversation was short and sweet, the young man got paid for 3.5 cord, the professor was told not to call them again for any wood, I guess the professor then brought up my name, that I'd stopped by, the Dad told him good luck there, I'd already stopped in and said he was the most ignorant son of beech I'd every dealt with and wouldn't cut him a stick, my friend actually thinks he is just absolutely ignorant of the way the rural living works, just no common sense, just and a poor So Cal educated idiot, retired, moved to our area to give mother earth news living a try. If he does call here, I will return the call and let him know that I'm booked up, and based on how he treated the young man wouldn't have time for him even if I had time.

what? the 7 cords for the price of 3 on tuesday? the other thing-yeah it's on the fossil and ice record and the earth has had 5 mass extinctions on the 300 billion years of life of which we are aware. but eggspurts do disagree.
remember the hoopla over the spill in the gulf and the dire predictions for all marine life in that area? we had our bestest ever fishing trip down there this past october. HUGELY best. The place was rife with all wildlife and but also a bunch of federally mandated or hired "tar ball" hunters too. Beaches may be cleaner than ever...fishery is rockin'. Nature is big-man is a pissant. :biggrin:

Enron (yes enron)> "carbon credits" some deal they thunked up in between manipulating electric prices> big casino bankers, loving yet another "financial product" they can use OPM for to gamble with>institutional investors swallowing that drivel, the something for nothing "investing" mindset, like they never learn them boys lie and there's no free lunch or magic beans>word gets down to the "live on grants" community at UNIs all over the world, as in "you like this nice grant money, doncha"?> fudged and compromised science (that part is the most annoying to me, it is critical for all humanity that they stay removed from politics and making money as their ultimate goal, but it is the setup we have now, leads to a lot of "tainting")>politicians>campaign money and "speaking" money and so forth>back to the casino bankers and their donations and fees they pay to their sock puppets> new laws to increase the billionaires profits and power of government over their serfs and subjects>where we are today.
As fas as I can tell with a TON of research, that is what happened.
I just kept following the economic food chain back, and I hit a brickwall at enron and carbon credits.
Now it does go back further, and a lot of the earlier science was more real, when they were saying the real long term trends might be for an upcoming mini ice age. *Some* of the scientists are getting back onboard that notion. It has been so tainted and compromised though..you can't tell any more.

I agree about Backwoods, I love the website and the blogs from Mas Ayoob (from my area) and Dave Duffy and the gang.

Now, you see all the fervor caused from just a single turd?-heh, heh! Not about the kid gettin' screwed that makes me want to gas up and head out there myself. What I'm laughing about is I got a guy across the street that's gotta be related to this a-hole! He's probably the most arrogant turd blossom I've ever met, and he teaches 3rd or 4th grade kids.
My theory is this: Him and the turd "professor" and their ilk, are so used to dealing with kids, they actually develop a superiority complex over time. Absolute power-senators, judges, cops, etc has the same effect.
Bocephus wrote a song about guys like this(attitude adjustment). "Head for a mop and butt for a broom" comes to mind. Exactly what this guy needs. Glad that wasn't my kid or I'd likely be in trouble with the law about now.

sorry to go so far off topic - just readin through the thread for the first time
but why does everyone always blame the other guy? sure hes at fault too (most of the time - few instances he honestly might not know the chick is married/has a boyfriend).. but where is all the anger towards the person most deserving... THE WOMAN. she knew she was married.. she knew what she was doing and where she was doing it... why didnt he walk her out in the yard right along side and make her eat #### ? i dont get it.. male or female, they know right from wrong.
either way, being a religious man, he should have just realized it was all part of god's plan.
.. anyway, back to readin
