More From P. J. O'Rourke

I imagine a school system that recognizes learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, and that real learning is passionate learning. a school curriculum that values questions above answers...creativity above fact regurgitation...individuality above conformity.. and excellence above standardized performance..... and we must reject all notions of 'reform' that serve up more of the same: more testing, more 'standards', more uniformity, more conformity, more bureaucracy.

Knowledge about yourself binds, weighs, ties you down; there is no freedom to move, and you act and move within the limits of thatknowledge. learning about yourself is never the same as accumulating knowledge about yourself. learning is active present and knowledge is the past; if you are learning to accumulate, it ceases to be learning; knowledge is static, more can be added to it or taken away from it, but learning is active, nothing can be added or taken away from it for there is no accumulation at any time.
Moving Taken Learning
Education is learning to grow, learning what to grow toward, learning what is good and bad, learning what is desirable and undesirable, learning what to choose and what not to choose.

The war on drugs was never meant to be won. instead, it will be prolonged as long as possible in order to allow various intelligence operations to wring the last few hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit profits from the global drug scam; then defeat will have to be declared. "defeat" will mean, as it did in the case of the vietnam war, that the media will correctly portray the true dimensions of the situation and the real players, and that public revulsion at the culpability, stupidity and venality of the establishment's role will force a policy review.
Real War Mean
Childbirth is a wonderful thing, but the reality is that it can dramatically change a woman's body. sui occurs when the vaginal wall weakens and cannot provide adequate support to the urethra, thus causing leaking. the good news is that women with sui have many different treatment options available to them.
