When implementing a new technique, one also has to hire a bunch of people with expensive purses to talk to other people about how great the new technique is. They have to be trained at some resort for a couple of weeks where they have to be flown first class. They also need much more expensive laptops of their own and ipads as well to spread the word and educate teachers effectively. Consultants have to be flown in... It ain't cheap.Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-11969222320187591392012-04-09T07:47:24.828-07:002012-04-09T07:47:24.828-07:00I think it's about time for a monument on the ...I think it's about time for a monument on the Mall for Americans who slipped and fell in the bathtub.

Most monuments are erected after the fact; the war is over, the great man is dead. A monument to victims of crime would have to acknowledge that there will be more victims tomorrow, and the day after that. It would need to portray an ongoing loss, and yet provide relief for those mourning their loved ones. <br /><br />I do think it´s a grand idea, but quite a challenge for the artist!DanJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-10737396377171604442012-04-08T09:15:10.023-07:002012-04-08T09:15:10.023-07:00Can you imagine the length and the height of such ...<i>Can you imagine the length and the height of such a wall?</i><br /><br />They can use advanced lithography to write the text in micron-size.

The Accords signed in September 1978, Carter's EO creating a President's Commission on the Holocaust followed less than two months later.<br /><br />I suppose that museum was the last detail needed to secure a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel (excepting the billions in annual aid of course) then its probably worth the effort. But I doubt it was, more likely Carter was just being a loser (about this same time he created a separate Dept of Education to make the teachers happy, swell).beowulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987548132065830204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-44184824054323866062012-04-07T19:08:45.712-07:002012-04-07T19:08:45.712-07:00one two three four five six nine and ten said...
