When are people going to learn that remakes and do-overs hardly ever work out?

During the last debate when Hillary was talking about the portrait and said - who does that I felt a little guilty because once I posed for an hour well a guy carved out a Halloween pumpkin to look like me. When it was done I felt a little vain and wondered who does that. Cheers!

Franklin responded "A republic if you can keep it". How faithfully have we kept it?

It can degenerate into a mobocracy and tyranny.James Madison said "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention, have even been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property and have in general been as short in their lives as they are violent in their deaths."John Adams said "Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide" Per Chief Justice John Marshall "The difference between a balanced Republic and a Democracy is like the difference between order and chaos"Per Lord Acton, "The one prevailing evil of a democracy is the tyranny of the mob"James Russell Lowell said "democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor"Ralph Waldo Emerson said "democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors" less

"Our biggest problem is civic ignorance". He went on to say "What I worry about is when problems are not addressed. People will not know who is responsible. And when the problems get bad enough ....someone will come forward and say 'give me total power and I will solve this problem.' That is how the Republic fell in Roman times. Augustus became emperor not because he arrested the Roman Senate. He became emperor because he promised he would solve all the problems that were not being solved." How prophetic he was. less

What if we ran a donation drive, say the week of Thanksgiving, and donated every penny that was earned via credit sales (or just general donations) to something like Toys for Tots or another cause? If there's value/ interest in this, we could even designate one week each month to give the funds to a different cause.What do you guys think? Any favorite causes that we should put up for consideration?

I was literally living with no income for yrs at a time. I got to the point where I went back to school just to live on financial aid. Last wk someone from teletech called me , they had my number from applications i had filled out with them before. I told them I wasnt sure I could work there cause i didnt do that good on the assessments so thats why they hadnt hired me before. the girl I talked to said that they took the assessment requirement for the job out and asked me to come in for an interview the next day, I went and they hired me, what I find ironic is that someone upstairs changed the rules specifically for me so id get employed, thats just so weird, ive never had that happen before. an... less
Schools are considered dumping grounds for whatever ails society, thinking they should take care of all social problems. So what is the role of a teacher?
