Education is the prerequisite to a sustainable community. The economy is dependent on a flexible workforce that can adapt and innovate as markets and technologies change. It also requires a healthy workforce free from financial and negative stress that reduces humanity to a tool of special interests.
Informed knowledge delivered through education channels to each and all to their own level of ability keeps politics in check. Changing the electoral system that seems to elect the blind leading the hapless and hopeless starts and ends with informed citizens making good decisions.
If education is designed in the service of the few who have the financial means and abilities to gain access to the best education then it is a part of the problem. A democratic society is dependent on education leaders to present knowledge and skills development that offers human development as the prerequisite to making better informed individual and collective decisions.
Massively open online course platforms, known as MOOCs ("mooks"), offer global education to the masses from the best universities in the world. The only cost to enrol in any MOOC is the cost of gaining access to the Internet using a computer configuration able to follow the video lectures and interactive testing from hundreds of courses offered throughout the year.
MOOCs invite students worldwide to study and trade ideas and opinions …
MOOCs invite students worldwide to study and trade ideas and opinions about course content from the perspective of a diverse cultural group. MOOC content is in English with a few courses available in Mandarin, French, Spanish and Russian.
There is an adage: "Give the boy a fish and he eats; give the boy a fishing rod and he eats forever."
Global education is the fishing rod. MOOC platforms are a good start to a revolution in global access to higher education. A lifetime of learning and skills development will be needed to avoid falling into the dust bin of failed Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Roman empires. A renaissance of sustainable communities begins with good education that leads to better informed decisions. MOOCs deliver higher education to a broad global audience in short time at low costs.
Duke University professor Cathy Davidson thinks the Internet is a game-changer in lifelong learning, unlearning and relearning.
Davidson is the author of several books on the use of technology in learning and a critic of education policy. She is cofounder of HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory), an group of 12,500 humanists, artists, social scientists, scientists and technologists formed in 2003 as a response to concerns about the threatened role of humanistic learning in the information age. Davidson was appointed by U.S. President Obama to the National Humanities Council.
Davidson's thinking aligns with futurist and author Alvin Toffler, who wrote:
"The illiterate of the 21{+s}t century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn."
Her critique of education is that it had not changed from testing skills more tuned to the 20th century than the 21{+s}t century. Technology has changed dramatically since the Second World War. Lifetime employment with one employer is not a reliable plan. People need to adapt. In 1993, the Internet browser ushered in an era of opportunities to engage in unprecedented collaborative work and global learning.
Davidson advocates use of Digital Badges to identify and validate student skills, knowledge, accomplishments and competencies, and provide a method to connect learners to opportunities and to one another for collaborative learning.
She shares her ideas in Duke University's six-week History and Future of (Mostly) Higher Education MOOC available on Coursera.
And what about sustainability?
In Davidson's MOOC she interviews Dennis Quaintance, who led 80 people in Greensboro, N.C., to learn how to build a sustainable hotel. They learned online. They then built the U.S.'s first Platinum LEED-certified hotel.
"It wasn't that hard," Quaintance said. "And if we could do it, why isn't everyone else?"

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Adaptation Of Great Expectations That There Is!,
no1filmaddict (UK) - See all my reviews
Out of all the film adaptations of 'Great Expectations', this is by far the best. It captures the warm humour of each charcter, brilliantly and because the film is quite old, the Victorian England set would more or less exactly how it should be, as parts of London in 1946 would still be like that.
One day when pip is out in the Graveyard putting flowers on his parents grave, he comes across an escaped convict whom he takes food to. Many years later while doing his apprentiship as a blacksmith, he is given great wealth and property by an unknown benifactor. Pip has a few ideas of who it could be, but the truth is afr from what he imagined.
In my opinion this is probably one of Charles Dicken's best novels, and even probably one of the best novels ever written. As you will know, reading a Dickens novel is not the easiest of books to read, and this excelent adaptation, allows you to watch it instaed. I do recommend though, that you read the book first as it will assist your understanding of the film, even though the film is very clear as to what is happening.
The acting is simply perfect, especially from young Pip and young Estella who almost seem to 'be' Pip and Estela who have jumped off the pages and come to life. This is what makes a good adaptation.
If you have read the book, then this is a must-see, and if you haven't, then this is still a must see, simply because it is a great film. Beware though, it is in black and white, but this shouldn't matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best film adaptation of Great Expectations ever,
By A Customer
From the wonderfully eerie opening scenes on the Essex marshes and Finlay Currie's menacing appearance in a foggy graveyard, you can tell straight away this is a winner. As the story of this "gentleman of great expectations" unfolds, you are treated to one of cinema's classics. David Lean's moody direction keeps you gripped throughout, but it's the acting that really makes the movie: John Mills and Alec Guiness both turn in great performances, and the incidental characters such as Francis L Sullivan's bluff Jaggers and the bumbling but sweet Joe Gargery supplied by Bernard Miles simply steal the show. There have been at least ten versions of this film made. If you only watch one, make it this one: It's a cracker!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Expectations on DVD,
Gemma Watson "LittleStarGem" (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
Having seen, and been disappointed in, many book-to-film adaptations, this particular version surprised me. It is very true to the book, and apart from Orlick and the Pockets, leaves no major character's story out. The dialogue is mostly lifted straight from Dicken's text, and yet still works quite well on film. The settings are very realistic, Satis House is very impressive and almost exactly as I imagined it to be. If I remember correctly, the ending of the film is the same as the original ending that Dicken's wrote - this helps to tie the film up and works better than the published ending.
My only criticisms would be that John Mills, although a very fine actor, is a poor 'older Pip' for the simple reason that he looks far too old. He was in fact 38 when he made the film by my reckoning... and is not a very believable 20 year old Pip in my opinion. The young Pip (Anthony Wager) and young Estella (Jean Simmons) on the other hand are exactly how I imagined them to be. By the end of the film, it feels like too much has happened in too short a time, and it is quite hard to keep track of everything that has gone on - this is only to be expected considering the length and complexity of the novel, and I for one appreciate that it did not cut any sub-plots out despite the possibility of confusion.
I recommend that you definitely read it first, only then will you be able to appreciate the film fully.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gold Standard!,
F. S. L'hoir (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
There are some films, such as "Casablanca," that should never be remade. David Lean's "Great Expectations" is one of them.
The cast--headed by John Mills as the grown-up Pip, and which includes the rotund Francis L. Sullivan as the lawyer Jagger (whose clients are hanged as a matter of course), Finlay Curry as the convict Magwitch, and Alec Guinness as Herbert Pocket--is pitch-perfect (although I always thought that Valerie Hobson was a bit of a disappointment after the brittle hauteur of Jean Simmons).
This film has everything: humor, suspense, and a lack of the sentimentality that seems to have crept into Dickensian films of late.
Lean, who was to become famous for his sweeping desolate landscapes of "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Dr. Zhivago," captures the essence of the lonely English fog-bound marshes with swirling swathes of grey in this glorious black and white film. The image of young Estella (a bewitching Jean Simmons) leading young Pip by candlelight up the darkened staircase into the cobweb-enshrouded inner sanctum of the demented Miss Havisham (the incomparable Martita Hunt) is unforgettable, as is the sight of the jilted bride's rat-infested wedding cake. Without computer-generated effects or even color, David Lean has created a cinematic masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cinema classic,
M. Joyce (Cairo, Egypt) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Expectations [DVD] (DVD)
This is truly a film classic. David Lean's films of "Great Expectations" and "Oliver Twist" leave subsequent versions (both film and TV) standing; the cinematography is superb and no other director captures both the genial eccentricity of Dickens's grotesques and the underlying sense of menace which pervades the works. John Mills and Valerie Hobson both look a little mature for the "adult" Pip and Estella, but the former in particular is very good. The young Jean Simmons is especially striking as the young Estella. The performances of the supporting roles are, one might suggest, definitive. These are, of course, the "best parts" in Dickens and a gift to any resourceful character actor. Especially striking are the Mr Jaggers of Francis L. Sullivan (who was surely born to play in Dickens), the grand guignol Miss Havisham of Martita Hunt, Alec Guinness's lively Herbert Pockit, the warmth and humanity of Bernard Miles as Joe Gargery and, notably, Finlay Currie's Magwitch; his appearance in the churchyard is deservedly a classic. A must for any collection!

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Great Expectations [DVD] (DVD)
A young boy (Anthony Wager) provides a kindness to an escaped convict (Finlay Currie) who is soon recaptured. Later, an eccentric woman (Martita Hunt) invites him to her estate so she can watch him play with her ward (Jean Simmons). The consequences of these events determine the boy's future as a young man (John Mills). This not quite faithful rendering of the Charles Dickens novel is one of David Lean's best films. Unlike so many films based on classic literary works, there's a vitality and texture that keeps the spirit of the novel so that one can overlook the handful of incidents that have been eliminated or changed from the novel's transition to the screen. The only major nuisance is the foisted happy ending which seems terribly at odds with all that preceded it. While Mills and Valerie Hobson (who plays the adult Simmons) don't make any false steps, they lack the perfection of their cast mates who seem to have walked right out of the pages of the novel. Most notably Hunt, Currie, Wager who's such a natural that he puts Hollywood's child actors of the era to shame and a young Alec Guinness as Mills' compatriot. Guy Green (who would later become a director himself) won an Oscar for the fleecy B&W cinematography and there's a beauty of a score by Walter Goehr. With Francis L. Sullivan, Bernard Miles, Torin Thatcher and Freda Jackson.
The ITV DVD from Great Britain boasts a handsome B&W transfer.

technoguy "jack" (Rugby) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Expectations [DVD] (DVD)
Simply the best film David Lean ever made.From it's opening scary scene in the church graveyard,seizing you by the kneck, to the interior of Miss Havisham's time-stopped,rotting mansion and the greatest casting ever.The whole way it treats the theme of young Pip maturing into a gentleman, and not realizing Jagger's' dictum: "Take nothing on looks,take everything on evidence".The beautiful plotting and pacing of Dicken's greatest novel.The beautiful scenes with Alec Guiness as his flatmate,Herbert Pocket,in London.The secret source of his wealth in the terrifying Magwitch(Finlay Curry).A beautful but cruel Estella in Jean Simmons who slaps young Pip's face or lets him kiss her.The scary Miss Havisham(Hunt) with her desire to break men's hearts through Estella as hers had been broken.Joe Gargery(Miles),Pip's touching,loyal brother-in-law,the gargantuan Mr Jaggers(Sullivan)lawyer,who brings the news of Pip's great expectations thanks to a mysterious benefactor.The powerful dilineation of class differences in the scenes with Bernard Miles as Joe Gargery.There is nothing to compare with this in the Dicken's canon.It is the high point of post-war British cinema.The best ever translation of a book to cinema,the best ever filming of a Dickens' novel.The great contrast between rustic honesty and urban shallowness of the two world's Pip inhabits.The recreation of 19th century London.This is better than the epics he later did,there is no time or room for self-indulgence,due to the tight budget and schedule with a complex tale to be told with no moment to spare. Excellent cinematic vision and cinematography.The best ever Dicken's novel with its themes of class, wealth, poverty,the law and its amazing gallery of characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Expectations - great film,
This review is from: Great Expectations [VHS] [1946] (VHS Tape)
This versions of Dicken's classic novel "great expectations" is a fantastic adaptation of the book. It follows the book very well and it's the best version i have seen so far out of all 3 versions.
All the actors/actresses are fantastic and i thoroughly enjoyed watching it at school so i bought it. I have been watching it ever since.
The film only misses out a few characters, such as Orlick, who worked for Joe and there are only 1 or two other characters missed out.
So i suggest you buy it, it may be in black and white but it adds to the effect and makes it most enjoyable.
The actor who plays the convict at the beginning
is fantstic when he approaches Pip in the graveyard .
So my advise to you is to buy this.
I am only 15 and have thouroughly enjoyed it.

J. Probert - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Expectations [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The film itself: Fabulous rendition of the classic by Charles Dickens. John Mills plays the part with elegance and style. Great.
Quality: Compared to a normal DVD this Blu Ray disk is very crisp. However (not a bad thing), if you are familiar with photography jargon, the film appears to be shot with a very high ISO throughout. But worth getting the Blue Ray version.

Toro's CIO said it increased its holdings of NQ Mobile Inc. (NYSE: NQ) since November 12th. Comments were made in an email obtained by Bloomberg.
SEC Form ADV (Investment Adviser Public Disclosure) signed by Toro's CCO Harry Morad on September 9, 2013 indicates Toro managed $32 mil in assets, down from $120 mil reported in 2011 (pre-Ambow debacle) . Go to form ADV, section F (2) (a) If yes, what is the amount of your regulatory assets under management? Discretionary $32000000.0
Yet, Toro bought about 7.6 mil ADS of NQ stock during Q4?? Even if they were lucky enough to buy at the low of around $9, that's a $68 mil buy-in. So at face value, it appears Toro is margined to the gills (2x or more) on it's NQ investment - not something I'd be happy with if my money was invested with Toro. So now, are you saying that Harry added more to the 7.6 mil ADR's already owned?
Leverage aside, suppose they bought in at a cost higher than current PPS? NQ traded between $7.58 and $25.90 during Q4, so it's anyone's guess but Toro's. But given that NQ trades at 50% below the Q4 high, it is conceivable that Toro could be underwater once again. Then , let's suppose Toro went to China and found traces of improprieties at NQ. Would they dump their enormous holdings now at a loss or hope that Deloitte conveniently gives NQ a thumbs up (ala Longtop Financial Technologies) so they can exit at higher prices?
You decide. One thing is sure, based on the ADV report, Toro can't afford to be on the wrong side of this trade. If they are, the Titanic will look like a dinghy next to them.
app, you ever read about Jack Welch said why fire an employee who had made a mistake? Now that employee had learned a lesson at GE. You don't want the employee to take his education and go work for Westinghouse at GE's expenses.

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: In defeat, they're resilient
They couldn't come all the way back, like they had Sunday night, and so the Orioles were 7-6 victors to earn a split of a four-game series that finished Monday. But after a clunker of a start from Clay Buchholz put the home team in a six-run hole early, that the Sox had the winning run at the plate in each of the final three innings, and at second base when the final out was recorded, it says something about this team that the game wound up within a hit of their grasp.
That still might not have been good enough. The Sox have struggled to hit with runners in scoring position, and did again Monday, finishing 2-for-10 when Napoli and Mike Carp each grounded out after David Ortiz was intentionally walked to load the bases in the ninth.
Twenty games in, that much we know. These Red Sox are resilient. They're built of high character. They endure and don't quit. The effort is there, every night, every day — heck, after Monday, every morning.
Dave D'Onofrio covers the Red Sox for the New Hampshire Union Leader and Sunday News. His e-mail address is email@example.com.

The suggestion that he's a flopper drew a grin as wide as his wingspan from LeBron James. Miami's superstar shot down the accusations from the Chicago Bulls, saying they reminded him of the days when some claimed he was overrated and questioned his ability to lead a team to a championship. ''It's kind of the same (as when) I heard people say I was overrated,'' he said Sunday. ''It's kind of like the same response.'' The Heat are trying to repeat as champions after a dominant regular season, and if they keep this up, they won't have to worry about Chicago much longer. Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals is Monday, and Miami has a chance to take a 3-1 lead in a series with no shortage of hard fouls, technicals, ejections and fines. One thing in short supply is healthy bodies for the Bulls, with Luol Deng still recovering from a spinal tap and Kirk Hinrich from a bruised left calf. The odds that either would play seemed slim at best on Sunday. Meanwhile, coach Tom Thibodeau...

I can't do top lane for the life of me.. Tips?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
I just played a game as Darius against Riven and went 1-6. I never do well in top lane. I get ganked at level 1 or 2 then I fall behind in levels and CS.
I've lost 6 of my last 7 games on top of it so I'm pretty frustrated. It's the main role I just cannot do. I don't know if it is bad matchups on top of me soon poorly or what.
The enemy knows I get passive when I fall behind and zone me out. Nobody answers when I ask for help/ganks either when I really could use it.
I have been playing Darius, Singed, Teemo, a few others at top. Something isn't clicking with me.
Any good champs to learn or improve with more than others?
I've been reading guides but those don't give me skill :(

Are you a solo top? If so, I understand.
If not, Blame your teammate. Or the jungler.

I'm not that good at top lane myself but I can give these tips:
- Counterbuild out of the wazoo. Seriously, if you get pitted against a Darius or riven for example and they're playing aggressively but losing on cs, pick up ninja tabi and a chain vest when you first go back.
- Take advantage of every time your opponent has left lane or is too weak to try and farm. If you're ahead, try to freeze the lane or push it back to your own tower. If behind, push as hard as possible and kill the next minion wave while your minions tank the turret.
- Try to play depending on how far ahead you are - do I have a ward so can I play aggressively on the other top? Should I press my advantage with damage items to further it or turtle out with gp5 items and by outfarming?
I'd recommend Irelia for top lane - she can farm incredibly well, push incredibly well, trade incredibly well and is enjoyable to use lategame.

She's great at bouncing back and playing passively. You can cs under tower easily with that Q.
If you really want to farm passively, buy Philo and you can bounce bounce around minions all day!
Also, part of your top lane success depends on your jungler too. So if your jungler is bad, you have no choice but to play passively and that's okay.

I like liquorice in any form,be it Pontefract cakes or Bassets Allsorts.As children we were given rock hard sticks of liquorice as a "treat"(my brother & sister hated the stuff so I got triple amounts)I also prefer Fishermans Friends/Victory V's to any chocolate/sugary sweet,but I've been called weird for so many things it matters not.

When we were kids a Liquorice root would last all day when you were a bit short of funds for sweets. We used to buy them from the local Chemists and would get two for a penny (old money). They're a bit more expensive now 20p each Liquorice root

Heads up: Top comment and controversy
Rebecca Loos is back: do you think she was right to sell her story?
15 March 2013 01:30 PM
Remember Rebecca Loos?
She faced a public backlash when she sold her story about an alleged affair with David Beckham nine years ago, although the Beckhams have always denied these allegations.
At the time, the former PA took full advantage of her new found fame appearing on reality shows and in lads mags, even entering into a gay marriage for a TV show. Now married to husband Sven with family in Norway, she's appeared on Daybreak to discuss the past and her regret (to a degree):
"Obviously I'm a mother now and married myself…knowing what I know now I would definitely have gone about things quite differently…I think I was quite young and foolish and reckless…"
Asking if she regrets the impact on Victoria and David for selling her story, she said:
"Probably. Yes, I think I do…I think I maybe could have gone about it in a kinder way. I don't regret speaking out but I regret the way I went about it."
When told that she did appear to love every minute of the new found celebrity lifestyle, she replied:
"I did try to enjoy it as much as I could…in the end I paid a price by feeling quite lonely and depressed."
Also questioned whether she understood the public backlash at the expense of other people's hurt, she responded:
"It's very different if you look at different countries. I didn't get much of a backlash in Spain. It's a very different culture there… I think it's a culture thing."
And asked why she came back?
"Quite a few people had been writing to me on Twitter and on my website saying "Where are you? We miss you. What's happened to you? What's happened to Rebecca Loos? I thought it'd be nice to do an interview to say this is where I am, this is what I'm doing."

Bulbs and Fruits
Hello. I know that when you're trying to force bulbs to grow, one place to put them is in the fridge without any fruits around. I share a fridge with some people and they always have fruits (mainly grapes) in it. They won't corporate with me when I request they don't leave any fruits in the fridge for a couple of weeks. So my question is: Would the bulb still be damage if the fruits are in a container (like in a ziplock bag or Tupperware) with a lid on it? Thanks!
"Hello. I know that when you're trying to force bulbs to grow ................"
Umm, no, the bulbs go into the fridge to prevent them from growing. To provide a chilled dormant condition in mild winter areas.
I doubt ethylene would penetrated the tupperware container but the danger is the bulbs softening. Don't know if shredded newspaper would help? Good question.
Faced with the same problem on a yearly basis, I opted for a small(four cubic feet)refrigerator, reserved just for bulbs, seeds, and scion wood. It is simple and cheap, about $100, manual defrost, so much less drying effect. Have had about 10 years and just unplug when not needed. Al
Hi dooyensan,
Welcome to Garden Web and The Bulb Forum.
Where are you located? If you will put your location in the one box provided for the garden zone in your profile, it will be shown on your Member Page and will also automatically be shown whenever you post on the forums. Having one's location is usually quite helpful when asking and answering questions. See I am zone 5/6 S IN
Just click on the Member Pages link found in the green banner at the bottom of any page and follow the links from there to update your member Profile.
Now, assuming, you 'might' be in a cooler zone, might you be able to leave then in an unheated garage for their chill time, or a crawl space, or a protected area somewhere outside, or with family or a friend?
Would you putting your bulbs in sealed containers in the frig maybe be a better option that asking others to seal up all of their fruits and veggies?
Put the bulbs and/or the fruit in those Debby Meyer Greenbags. They are specially treated to absorb ethylene gas. They really do an amazing job keeping produce fresh, and I think they would help prevent the ethylene from fruit from damaging the bulbs.
I can tell you from sad experience that your bulbs will not like being in a refrigerator with fruit. I have ordered pre-chilled bulbs from Brent and Becky's in the past and there's no comparison with my home-chilled bulbs. They are oh so much better. I am currently keeping my eyes open for a dorm size fridge like Al mentioned. That really seems to be the way to go if I want to grow tulips in the southeast. As chemocurl points out, it is very helpful for you to provide us with your zone and the state where you garden. Depending on where you live and what bulbs you are trying to grow, chilling may not even be necessary.
Thanks for all the tips and responds. I wish I could afford a mini fridge but I can't right now. I've asked around and my sister said she would be willing to let me put my bulbs in her fridge for a couple of weeks. So I guess problem solved.
Since I'm completely new to forcing bulbs I do have a question. When you are using just water and pebbles to force hyacinth bulbs, do you start off the first 12 weeks or so by just leaving them in the fridge in a bag of some sort and THEN take them out into a warm spot and put water and pebbles? Or can you place them in the fridge already with water and pebbles and wait until the roots appears?
Thanks again!
For bulb chilling 6 weeks should be considered the MINIMUM time. Modern refrigerators defrost themselves and circulate the air throughout with a fan. There is no place in the refrigerator safe from the gas produced by ripening fruit. Al
And it's not just fruit that produces ethylene - a number of vegetables also emit this gas. Really, the only safe place to chill bulbs is in a refrigerator dedicated to this purpose or a wine/beverage cooler.
Do decorative alliums need a chill before planting?
I have grown them previously in zone 5 successfully but last year I planted them ( in zone 8 ) and they produced blooms miserably, even though we had an unusually cold winter. Thanks for any suggestions.

Waiting for the right one.
First off I think typing about yourself on here is almost pointless. Why, you may ask. What people put in here is to make yourself sound appealing. But lets face it, you don't really know a person until you meet them. You can't fall in love with something you read. It's who the person is, the little things they do you fall in love with. Not oh he/she has a PhD or he/she has a nice car. I just want to find someone real not materialistic. Materialistic stuff only gets you so far. My name is Ashley. I'm 24. I'm very out going and often silly at times. I just love to have a good time and make people laugh. You only live once so you might as well enjoy it. I'm a very positive person. I'm currently a student at Virginia College for Cosmetology. After i finish there, i am hoping to get my business degree and get certified in all forms of Make-up. I hope to have my own business one day!! I'm 5'7 and a plus sized woman. I have tattoos and piercing. I am, who I am. No one can change who I am. I would like to find someone who has similar interest as me. Someone who has ambition, and wants the same things out of life. I'm not in a hurry to find it. You cant put time on love. I would rather be single then in the wrong relationship.

Whatever the system, it has costs. The kind of filtering needed to know for sure who the ones who deserve to be pitied vs the ones who deserve to be flushed costs more than is available. But I'm for little tweaks here and there like you suggested. It the "easy answer" people I have a problem with. All the problems with easy answers were solved last week.
Well that goes into a whole myriad of other problems. I'll take it point by point.
If someone has that kind of drug habit, chances are the kids are going to be taken away anyhow. No cost difference. Plus, I don't mind my taxes going to something good like helping out kids who've done nothing wrong. They'll have a better chance of becoming contributing members of society this way.
For the people who aren't there mentally, as I said, for those that are too mentally or physically disabled to find work, there are a number of programs to help them. Those programs as it stands need tweeking, especially our mental health facilities. I'm fine with taxes going to help those as well. If they are truly mentally ill, they shouldn't be in a welfare office to begin with. They should be handled through a different medium. That's a whole other system though that needs dealt with.
As for having the money to pay for stuff like this...we have the money, it's just being wasted on needless government programs, and there are too many of those to list here. Cutting down on military spending and ending the war on drugs could probably by themselves pay for making the welfare system more functional.
These ARE easy solutions, but we are talking about the gov't here, so common sense isn't exactly at the forefront.
Look at these eyebrows. These are attack eyebrows! They could take off bottle caps!
