the way I'm feeling

The way I'm feeling right now makes me want to think about how I felt as a young child. There was so much order to the world then. Everything made sense. But as I aged things began to make less sense. Theore I learned the less sense the whole thing seemed. 

It's odd really. You would think the world would become more ordered as you gain more experience. But with experience comes learning and understanding about society. Sure, you mom maybe taught you about kindness by the interactions with people in your community. But as you grow older you learn through school and modern media about the wider world. 

As a child .....

Maestro

Some like to keep it tight,
I like to keep it loose.
When I walk in the class,
Kids say, "he got that juice!"

Come in and have a seat,
feel free to read a tale.
Your name is Ishmael?
Here's one about a whale.

Rich, poor, it makes no mind,
because I know you'r kind.
Feel free to read it twice,
I know that you are nice.

All please come have a seat.
The lesson won't take long.
If you can find a beat,
feel free to use this song.

Libertarian thought

A lot has been said recently about this coming presidential election. There seems to be two or more choices for president of the United States of America. Everyone knows of course Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are running for president. And a few people know that Gary Johnson is also running for president. Recently quite a few of my friends on Facebook and some of which are actually friends of mine have guided me toward the idea of changing my mind by using arguments like, "I can't believe you would actually vote for libertarian! Okay dude the joke's over stop it!" It's odd, nobody asked me to stop in 2012 I don't remember anyone asking me to stop back in 2008. And in fact in 2004, when I ran my own campaign, everyone that I know, and I mean everyone that I know gave encouragement. Many people came to tell me that they indeed did vote for me. Yet now that same group of people are saying "that's silly stop it, this is too important for you to have your fight this year!" but the thing that's most disturbing is I'm hearing it from Clinton supporters and also from Trump supporters. These same people, two years ago were the ones who said, "libertarianism is great it'll never happen," and things like, "people will never vote for libertarian but I would if there were enough people." This year those same people are saying I should back off my because this isn't the year for a protest vote. This vote is not a protest vote.  Nor was it in 2012 nor was it in 2008 nor was it in 2004 when I had the chance to have dinner with presidential candidate Michael Badnarik.  This vote is not not a protest vote!

So they'll come up to me with arguments like, "oh my God do you want the Koch brothers to rule everything?" No who gave you that idea? or they'll say something like, "do you just want big business to rule everything?" Or they'll say something like, "I guess it's every man for themselves," and I'm like who gave you this idea of the libertarian party it's clear wherever you learned about the libertarian party is not from the libertarian party! quit talking about s*** you don't know about! Use The Washington Post or the New York Times for your truth, this guy looking for something different. So if you say something about what it means to be a libertarian to a libertarian and they disagree with you then you are the one that is wrong about what it means to be a libertarian. How is that a hard concept to understand we are a party of individuals? a party of special interest groups are some of the crap like that there's only like 5 weeks left so if you have one of those people for 5 years ago that was saying it's a great idea but never make it happen guess what if you're that person and just say like Gary debate and encourage your friends to say that all you need to do and you we'll see.

Does the NDAA really say THAT??

SEC. 225. NEXT GENERATION EXO-ATMOSPHERIC KILL VEHICLE.

(a) Plan for Next Generation Kill Vehicle- The Director of the Missile Defense Agency shall develop a long-term plan for the exo-atmospheric kill vehicle that addresses both modifications and enhancements to the current exo-atmospheric kill vehicle and options for the competitive development of a next generation exo-atmospheric kill vehicle for the ground-based interceptor of the ground-based midcourse defense system and any other interceptor that might be developed for the defense of the United States against long-range ballistic missiles.
(b) Definition of Parameters and Capabilities-
(1) ASSESSMENT REQUIRED- The Director shall define the desired technical parameters and performance capabilities for a next generation exo-atmospheric kill vehicle using an assessment conducted by the Director for that purpose that is designed to ensure that a next generation exo-atmospheric kill vehicle design--
(A) enables ease of manufacturing, high tolerances to production processes and supply chain variability, and inherent reliability;
(B) will be optimized to take advantage of the ballistic missile defense system architecture and sensor system capabilities;
(C) leverages all relevant kill vehicle development activities and technologies, including from the current standard missile-3 block IIB program and the previous multiple kill vehicle technology development program;
(D) seeks to maximize, to the greatest extent practicable, commonality between subsystems of a next generation exo-atmospheric kill vehicle and other exo-atmospheric kill vehicle programs; and
(E) meets Department of Defense criteria, as established in the February 2010 Ballistic Missile Defense Review, for affordability, reliability, suitability, and operational effectiveness to defend against limited attacks from evolving and future threats from long-range missiles.
(2) EVALUATION OF PAYLOADS- The assessment required by paragraph (1) shall include an evaluation of the potential benefits and drawbacks of options for both unitary and multiple exo-atmospheric kill vehicle payloads.
(3) STANDARD MISSILE-3 BLOCK IIB INTERCEPTOR- As part of the assessment required by paragraph (1), the Director shall evaluate whether there are potential options and opportunities arising from the standard missile-3 block IIB interceptor development program for development of an exo-atmospheric kill vehicle, or kill vehicle technologies or components, that could be used for potential upgrades to the ground-based interceptor or for a next generation exo-atmospheric kill vehicle.
(c) Report-
(1) IN GENERAL- Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report setting forth the plan developed under subsection (a), including the results of the assessment under subsection (b), and an estimate of the cost and schedule of implementing the plan.
(2) FORM- The report required by paragraph (1) shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex.

New Teacher

Two week done and now where are we going?

Goal:

To have a sucessful classroom.

How do we ensure this goal is reached and what can we do in the classroom in the meantime as we reach these goals.

Needs: The previous teacher's decorating job has to be demolished and a new one put in its place.

In our classroom

The Classroom

As students enter their classroom, they should be comfortable with their surroundings, and familiar with everything in the classroom. As the school year progresses they will be come familiar with all of the assignments they will accomplish through the year. Their classroom furniture will be placed in such a fashion as is fit to encourage the learning process on both a group level and an individual level. Areas in the room will be designated for certain types of work, giving students the level of privacy they need to accomplish their assignments. The room should be made as comfortable as possible to maximize the learning process.

The Material

Works available to the student will be arranged in shelves around the room. There will be multiple copies of each work available so as to allow more than one student to work on the same book. Every student will also maintain journals to track various skills within the classroom. These journals may include: grammar, vocabulary, lecture notes, literary analysis. Drama shall play a key roll in the classroom. Performance will be available as work. Work will be available in its original language and its modern translated language for works such as Chaucer and older and also work written in a language other than English. Shakespeare and his contemporaries will be available in their original language only. Histories, documents, letters, and reflections shall also be made available to students.

Manipulative material that is relevant to the reading available shall also be made available. These may include plants discussed in a work, or artifacts from the culture to help students better understand the author's meaning. Also relevant technology will be maintained in the classroom so as to promote learning.

The Students

As students enter their classroom, they will be familiar with the room and understand how their work is to be done. They will be given the liberty to choose which assignment to complete. They will track their progress in their various journals and will also have some of their work reviewed by their peers. They will have access to both pens and pencils and relevant technology necessary to complete their assignments. They will become familiar with the literature available in the room. Through their journals, and in class discussion they will prove to the teacher they are prepared for more challenging work. As writers they will assume everything they write will be published, and in the classroom the resources necessary to do this will be there for them. They will be given the choice to enter new vocabulary into the classroom lexicon. They shall write “multiple choice” tests for the works they read and quiz their peers who have read the same work. They shall also be encouraged to apply for things such as permits for extracurricular activities, or small business licenses. They will be able to communicate classically as well as with the aid of technology. They will gain an understanding of all the languages they hear, and work on being comfortable using them.

Students enter the classroom prepared to learn and leave ready to teach. Every student should be able to perform well on what ever hurdle may be placed between their education and its funding.

The Teacher

The teacher enters the classroom having read every work in the classroom. The teacher has an understanding of the zeitgeist of all the work available, and is able to demonstrate this without hesitation. He will also review student work on a regular schedule, and leave ongoing encouragement and advise. A clear understanding of the rules of logic, often called booleen algebra, and its many equations shall be understood and available for instruction. A clear understanding of school district policies is necessary, as well as the ability to use these policies to maximise learning in the class. It is the teachers responsibility to review new technology, and maintain the current equipment used.

Before entering the classroom the teacher has reviewed the history of every student in his class. A well prepared teacher is well. . . prepared*

*Being well prepared:

• Understand the children as they enter the room

• Maintain relevant contacts at various government agencies.

• Maintain current education relevant to licencure.

• Keep literary journal subscriptions current.

• Review student work

• Maintain contacts in various theatre companies

• Maintain contacts in various publishing agencies

• Allow and encourage fund raising to help further the class

This list may be added to in the future.
