Why was this such a bad decision for Lawrence Township? I'm not aware of this history here.

What Was Missing From Trump's State of the Union? America's $1 Trillion Deficit: http://reason.com/blog/2019/02/05/whats-missing-from-trumps-state-of-the-u Agreed. A ticking time bomb we are leaving for your children and grandchildren to tackle. Sickening and cowardly. What would the remaining members of the "greatest generation" think of this?

A fun name a former co-worker of mine, and Lafayette native, used when referring to the newspaper.

Unbiased citations please.

I don't understand why the members of the communities where these mega schools exist continue to allow them to exist. Reminds me of a song............ I take my card and I stand in line To make a buck I work overtime Dear sir letters keep comin' in the mail I work my back till it's racked with pain The boss can't even recall my name I show up late and I'm docked, it never fails I feel like just another, spoke in a great big wheel Like a tiny blade of grass in a great big field To workers I'm just another drone To Ma Bell I'm just another phone I'm just another statistic on a sheet To teachers I'm just another child To IRS I'm another file I'm just another consensus on the street Gonna cruise outta this city, head down to the sea Gonna shout out at the ocean, hey it's me And I feel like a number, feel like a number Feel like a stranger A stranger in this land, I feel like a number I'm not a number, I'm not a number Damn it I'm a man, I said I'm a man Gonna cruise out of this city, head down to the sea Gonna shout out at the ocean, hey it's me And I feel like a number, feel like a number Feel like a stranger Stranger in this land, feel like a number I'm not a number, I'm not a number Damn it I'm a man, I feel like a number Feel like a number, feel like a number I feel like a...

Ahh, those were the days. And with the benevolent TA looking out for it all.

A lot these you can just go and clear your browser cookies for that site and voila!, you have another 5-10 articles you can view. In Chrome go to Settings-->Advanced-->Content Settings-->Cookies-->See all cookies and site data. Then simply search for the site(s) cookies you want to removed and hit the "Remove All" button. In fact just did this a few minutes ago for the Lafayette Urinal & Courier, and Indianapolis Star sites.

Just no. If you think Harrell's is a cesspool the shear amount of trolling and sh*tposting on reddit would make your head spin.

Cory Booker Is Running for President. Must He Run Away from School Choice?: http://reason.com/blog/2019/02/01/cory-booker-president-school-choice Well the obvious solution is the get the federal government of out of the education business entirely. Until then you will have flip-flopping. The quest for power trumps principles.

Must be running an ad blocker in your browser, or the ad sites are being blocked at the ISP/network level. Has the GID technical staff re-enabled no ads for GID members that have donated here on the new site?

It's not. You are the one who seems to think it is relevant, given your questioning of DT's assertion. An IT professional educated in a private school? Yes, I know several. Do you know any?

DT certainly had more posts with actual content that you did, Gonzo. And I believe him when he says that counting the prior two iterations of the GID his post count was 10k+. I'm pretty sure my count was in the 14k range. Pity that the GID technical support team didn't put any priority on actually backing up the GID site data from time to time.

And negative press about your site was spread by a number of GID and pro-pp zealots in an attempt to smear you. I remember those days.

Thank you. Are moderators voting members of GID brain trust? Or only the five administrators, one of whom according that page has yet to login to the new GID?

Only $4? The cookie cartel is charging $5 around here.......................

Agreed. The late, great Tim Adams once said to me in a PM, and I paraphrase, "People with strong/contrary opinions, like you and DrivenT , help drive traffic to the GID and therefore valuable discussions."

I think that is rather obvious..........................

In the interest of full disclosure, who exactly are the "we" you are referring to? Who currently makes up the GID brain trust?

Elizabeth Warren's Wealth Tax Is a Stunt Policy That Other Countries Have Tried and Discarded: http://reason.com/blog/2019/02/01/warren-wealth-tax-unconstitutional-2020 If this horrible tax would ever become law, it would be an abject failure. I can see loads of household suddenly with "only" $47, $48, $49.5 million evaluations.

https://www.npr.org/2019/02/01/690024261/welcoming-girls-of-all-ages-boy-scouts-of-america-is-now-scouts-bsa And I call baloney on that statement. Within 5 years scouting troops will effectively be co-ed, especially in rural areas where it is already a struggle to find enough adult leadership. I've heard of it already happening in Cub Scouts, where there are supposed to be separate boys & girls dens within the same pack. Interesting days ahead.

http://reason.com/blog/2019/02/01/amelie-wen-zhao-young-adult-blood-heir Of course, some on the progressive left balk at any attempt to blend different cultural settings and traditions, or tell new stories that are inspired by rituals or clothing belonging to an ethnic group of which the author is not a member. Some even complain if any of a book's characters are repugnant—even if the point is to shed light on those characters' odiousness. (Singal and Rosenfield both point to a previous social media outrage concerning the YA book The Black Witch, derided as racist because some of the evil characters did in fact do racist things.) It's Zhao's book, and she can decide not to publish it if she no longer wants to. This was to be the first volume in a trilogy for which the author received a $500,000 advance, so opting not to publish is going to cost her quite a lot of money. But given how off-base these criticisms were, it seems like a terrible shame to capitulate to them. Last year my colleague Eric Boehm argued that our society resembles Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. Boehm pointed out that the famous science fiction novel is misremembered as a mere warning against government censorship. In fact, it's a treatise against the sort of society where everything that provokes anyone is deemed problematic. Bradbury wasn't worried that the government would start burning books out of nowhere; he worried that people would demand the bonfires. Censorship grow out of political correctness, weaponized by each aggrieved person against everyone else. "There is more than one way to burn a book, and the world is full of people running about with lit matches," Bradbury wrote. In our age of daily, context-free viral outrages, it's a prescient warning. Agreed. It's a shame that Ms. Zhao was browbeat/shamed into not publishing her creation. 'Tis the way the of the SJW's.

Yes, I can pay via a money order or cash.

Thank you for the explanation.
