QUOTE (Tex @ May 14, 2010 -> 02:44 PM) What freedom of education? With all the standardized tests, fewer and fewer choices of textbooks, everyone winds up teaching about the same stuff. Well if the history of Chicano's in America is being taught, there are some electives left.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 14, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) It would not be permitted either. I know it wouldn't be permitted under this law, I am just curious how far the freedom of education goes in people's minds.

I missed wimpy up until Stone got into the booth. Now, I don't care.

Turning back the other way, what if the classes were anti-minority in focus, such as a KKK class on black history?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2010 -> 01:33 PM) Ok, he's white. They don't get lynched in the south either. Yeah, about that...

It is probably the wrong economy for it, but you never know.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2010 -> 01:25 PM) He's white and employed. People like that don't get the death penalty in TX. I'm not talking about the death penalty...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) You're lucky you don't teach in Arizona, I could get you fired. Hell in Texas you could get him lynched...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 14, 2010 -> 12:20 PM) The numbers seem to indicate that more injuries occur on that stuff than on grass though. Albeit it is far better than old fashioned astro turf. Maybe on regular grass, but with the problems the Bears have had with their turf, it isn't the same by a long shot.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 14, 2010 -> 01:10 PM) Mike Brown deserves to get fired for the way the Cavs gave up at the end of the game last night, if not for anything else. I couldnt believe they let the Celtics basically dribble down the clock with a minute left. I wouldn't argue with that. Its embarassing for a high school team to quit like that, let alone an NBA playoff team being paid millions to be there.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 13, 2010 -> 04:01 PM) You sicken me sir. Its just a glove. Well hopefully it was a catchers glove...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 14, 2010 -> 11:45 AM) Sounded like the Bears wanted to wait until there was further research done on the field surface before making the change. I guess I can understand that. Albeit the Bears grass just gets beaten up. That is a load of crap. This stuff is everywhere. Heck our entire football conference barring two schools have the stuff. All they have to do is ask around for injury numbers.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 14, 2010 -> 08:47 AM) We're all concerned about Lebron here, but did we just see Big Diesel's last game? I'd think some team would pay the guy like 6 mill next year to be a big off the bench, but what if he's had it? Hellofa dominant player in his heyday. In todays pick and roll NBA, he is worthless. He has no footwork left. I hope he hangs it up and protects his legacy, because he was the most amazing true big man I have ever seen.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 13, 2010 -> 10:32 PM) ABC cancelled Flashforward, Better Off Ted, and Scrubs...and that Alyssa Milano show. Better off Ted was pretty solid. Too bad.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 14, 2010 -> 12:24 AM) Two days without White Sox baseball a week is two days too many. Not to mention a day game makes it seem a lot longer without baseball.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 14, 2010 -> 03:24 AM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5187219 Interesting new twist to the Griffey story.... It has been interesting to see everyone run from that story since it came out. Does Griffey have some kind of mafia up there?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2010 -> 07:54 AM) Some commentary on last night. You wanna really know the reason Mike Brown is going to be fired? Not because of his performance last night, this series, etc. He's going to lose his job because he, along with everyone else in Cleveland, have coddled James too much. Yeah, he's the best player in the league. But he's also no where near as good as he could be. He's sloppy at times, over-reliant on his athleticism, and has shown no interest in developing a down-low post game, where he ought to be just as dominant as he is outside with that 270 lb frame combined with his quickness. He ought to be able to get 2 quick fouls on Pierce driving into the lane where he's too fast for Pierce, then go down low and pick up 2 more quick fouls shooting over Garnett in a game like that. He really hasn't had anyone pushing him to be the best in Cleveland. They've spent all their time trying to make him happy that they haven't been willing to piss him off to make him better. He also really needs a second option who can generate their own shot. Those 9 turnovers come from everyone knowing that he's starting off with the ball. It be interesting to pair James with a guy like either Phil Jackson who can work the mental side, or a guy like Skiles who would pound the discipline side.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ May 13, 2010 -> 09:52 AM) You could be right. I don't recall when exactly the "official" announcement was made. But I was informed last summer that his future was at 1b. So I think it would be more accurate to say signing Teahen was a reaction to moving Dayan as opposed to he was moved due to signing Teahen. He is off to a good start at AAA. Though that bb/k ratio is pretty bad. NO ONE saw Viciedo as a 3B from the day that he was signed. That might have been his official position, but talk was always everywhere but third.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 13, 2010 -> 12:57 PM) So does copper. It's intrinsic or useful value outside of "looking pretty" isn't really all that much, which is why I don't get the people who think going back to a gold standard is the solution to many problems. This is reason #1 I could never be a Libertarian. The Gold Standard is a relic of the 19th century that needs to be buried and forgotten. The idea that money has to be "real" is so stupid, considering the value of gold is just as subjective as the value of a piece of paper. The one difference is that the fixed supply of currency isn't anything like the fixed supply of gold, so you don't have a massive artificial cap on growth.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ May 13, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) While I do believe he's probably the best player in the NBA, it is not "by a wide margin" when you consider some other comparable star players. Kevin Durant? Kobe Bryant? Carmelo Anthony? You think he is better than those guys by a wide margin? Kobe is the only one of those three that is in the conversation right now. Maybe soon Durant will be if he learns to play any defense.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 13, 2010 -> 06:11 PM) The mismanagement of Alex Gordon is going to go down as one of the worst moves in franchise history. Pretty much all of their offensive products have failed to one extent or another while in KC.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 13, 2010 -> 07:33 AM) That is what I have always thought and I was ok with the fact that we are moving him because we don't think he can play 3B. But the article specifically mentioned how having Teahen changed where we were going to play him. And that would be a real stupid reason. It is a better thing to tell a kid we are moving you because you are blocked versus telling them that they are moving because they suck.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) Morel 1/4 with an RBI, #19. 800 OPS. Nunez really pitched very well, one of his best, if not THE best start with us. And Salvador Sanchez has come back down to earth. Just can't seem to find much to get excited about with this team. Shelby's now down to .244 and fading a bit. Nice back to back days for the Swisher prospects.

So I finally saw Avatar. Whoever said it was the 21st century version of Star Wars was balls on accurate.

Too bad you aren't going to SF. As a bootlegger you should check out Alcatraz.
