"Integrity is so lacking in America that the shortage myth serves the interests of universities, funding agencies, employers, and immigration attorneys at the expense of American students who naively pursue professions in which their prospects are dim. Initially it was blue-collar factory workers who were abandoned by US corporations and politicians. Now it is white-collar employees and Americans trained in science and technology. Princeton University economist Alan Blinder estimates that there are 30 to 40 million American high end service jobs that ultimately face offshoring."--Paul Craig Roberts

@Man_Of_The_Mountain:

Why was hemp farming banned? That's a job growth field.

To this day, the ‘war on hemp’ is still in full force. However, more people are learning about the vast benefits of hemp – for food, medicinal purposes, textiles, fuel, and tens of thousands of other uses.

It’s time to let nature’s perfect plant flourish again. No more dependence on foreign oil; a return to natural, plant-based remedies for illnesses and diseases; no more petroleum based plastics; less dependency on chemicals that are harming our environment and health.

Oh, but I guess that you'd just call me names?

You're making assumptions about me without reading. Alright, let's go. It's 0223 hours. Where are you?

[quote][b]Man_Of_The_Mountain[/b] - But haven't they seen that rightwing commercial on TV with the dude from "Dirty Jobs" - Mike Rowe, basically telling the kids to "learn a trade and build what people need". I think the commercial is sponsored by Georgia Builds or some other nonsense.
God forbid your child attend a Liberal Arts college and get one of those "useless" degrees offered there!

Perhaps you would like to discuss what exactly about my post rated a negative one?

What was wrong with my post?

Is it wrong to provide other sources of information to young folks?

So the information for the programming bootcamps is not to your liking?

Dmitry Orlov's advice about carpentry skills does not meet your approval?

Moving to North Dakota where the economy is booming upsets you and causes you to call me names?

I think that you need to read a few of my posts before you try and start a fight with me my friend. Instead of just calling me names, why don't you make a post that tries to help folks?

It's 0205 hours. Where are you? I'm staying up to talk to you. Let's go.

I never made any such negative statement about the HOPE Grant or Athens Tech or liberal arts degrees. I don't know what you're talking about. But come on. You started this, let's go! Where are you? Come on!

@Man_Of_The_Mountain:

I don't know why you're ill with me my friend or my post. I even rated your post 3 points.

I don't assume anything about you, please don't assume about me.

@Man_Of_The_Mountain:

Hi. Thanks for your thoughts. I would consider myself libertarian. I am merely posting some information.

Have great night my friend!

"At this point in the game, gaining basic money-making skills is far more important, especially in the trades, such as landscaping, interior restoration, carpentry, house painting, floor sanding, mechanical repair work, and so on, because these are all jobs that can be done for cash. Avoid dangerous trades, such as roofing, abatement, and, in general, anything that involves toxic chemicals or dangerous machinery. Having some business skills is important too – knowing how to deal with bosses and customers and how to supervise people. The best approach is to work a series of short jobs – shorter than a year, learning a trade and moving on immediately, and always be on the lookout for special, unofficial projects. Think of regular employment as good cover, but not as the main source of income – and therefore best kept to part-time. Always job-hunting, switching and learning new jobs, will help keep your mind sharp. But be sure to read as well, and
challenge yourself by reading difficult books – this will help you when you decide to go back to school."--by Dmitry Orlov

In 1937 Congress passed the Marihuana Tax Act which effectively began the era of hemp prohibition. The tax and licensing regulations of the act made hemp cultivation unfeasable for American farmers. The chief promoter of the Tax Act, Harry Anslinger, began promoting anti-marijuana legislation around the world.

RUN FROM THE CURE

@yeti:

There's no such thing as an accidental shooting!

The four key tips are universal to any gun safety course: Treat every firearm as if it were loaded, never point a gun at anything you aren’t willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire and be sure of your target and beyond.

You're right. My past experiences involved traffic enforcement and accident reports. Since leaving GSP and moving to Athens, I have to agree 100% with your statement.

Some thoughts:

Was not a civil war.

"Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late... It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern schoolteachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision... The conqueror's policy is to divide the conquered into factions and stir up animosity among them... It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up wegive up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is
not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties." by General Patrick Cleburne

"As a Confederate soldier and as a citizen of Virginia, I deny the charge, and denounce it as a calumny. We were not rebels; we did not fight to perpetuate human slavery, but for our rights and privileges under a government established over us by our fathers and in defense of our homes."by Richard Henry Lee, Confederate Colonel

"This war is not about slavery...if I had foreseen the use those people designed to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me. Had I foreseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in my right hand."by Robert E. Lee

"I know it's not politically correct to speak, write, or believe in Black Confederates but that fact remains they did exist and they did their service to the Confederate States of America willingly to defend the South against the invading hoards. It would be a great disservice to deny these patriotic black men their rightful place in our history, they deserve to be honored." /strong>by Scott K. Williams

Actually, the war of 1861 was not a civil war. A civil war is a conflict between two or more factions trying to take over a government. In 1861, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was no more interested in taking over Washington than George Washington was interested in taking over England in 1776. Like Washington, Davis was seeking independence. Therefore, the war of 1861 should be called "The War Between the States" or the "War for Southern Independence." The more bitter southerner might call it the "War of Northern Aggression."--by Walter E. Williams, (who happens to be
black) American economist, commentator, and academic. He is the John
M Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University, as well as a syndicated columnist and author known for his libertarian views.

Come on y'all!

Hi King Minos. Thanks for your posts. But what is a "Tim Bryant"? This dude? Well, if that makes his listeners happy, whatever. Is he talking about the UGA employees with the sense of entitlement that post here, all day long, during their work day, and call that work? So what's Tim's deal anyway, King Minos? Is he a rule follower? Does he think for himself, or is he merely a repeater? Does he believe in a police state? A camp follower of politicians? A free thinker? I've never heard of him, so I haven't ever watched him or listened to him. If he would classify me as an "idiot" on the grounds of never listening to his show, then yes, I plead ignorant.

But for Tim, what do you think of these thoughts?
