F6 thanks for the worthwhile reply. Enjoyed the videos.
With the information we have it is impossible to say if the teacher, Mr. Chandliss is as you say or truely alarmed at the new attitude he is seeing in his students, which I sincerely thought would encourage tinner, the object of my post. It is understandable, given the tinner or our Prez,,, and the state of our economy, that youngsters would be looking for Gov to confiscate goods from the greedy to benefit the innocent. Why would this revelation cause any concern for progressives? Should be good news that the education system is acting as a catalyst for Gov Love.


"My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.............................. In my opinion, an autocratic system of coercion soon degenerates; force attracts men of low morality... The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling.

"This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, which I abhor... This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!

IMHO, the nation should take heart ............


The US "is on the cusp of an energy boom that is already creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, revitalizing entire communities, and reinvigorating American manufacturing," said US Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas Donohue as he laid out the Chamber's priorities for 2012.

In his annual "State of American Business" report, delivered Thursday in the Italianate Hall of Flags in the Chamber's Lafayette Square headquarters, Donohue highlighted energy first as a sector offering vast promise in jobs and revenue to help revitalize the US economy, but only if domestic resources are developed.

Donohue pointed to unconventional oil and gas discoveries, including natural gas in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and West Virginia, and oil in North Dakota, as examples of the jobs boom these resources can bring "With the right policies, the oil and natural gas industry could create more than 1 million jobs by 2018," Donohue said.
Ample and cheap gas supplies mean petrochemical companies are considering coming back to the US, and may encourage other manufacturing, he said.

Donohue said the US has enough oil to last 200 years, natural gas for 120 years, and coal for 450 years. "We must speed up permitting and end many of the restrictions that have put key areas off-limits" due in some cases to "political expedience," Donohue said.

He said the nation must "harness all our resources, traditional and alternative – while expanding nuclear power and driving greater efficiency." He called efficiency "the most important environmental resource we have."
