What amazes me is that several students say they like Family Guy. What can they possibly like about a show that references hundreds of historical or pop-culture things they have no idea about?

Better yet, teach them how to apply math and how to read the meaning of numbers and statistics to go beyond mere numerical calculations... Your motto Pat
That have to understand why 1/2 plus 1/2 is 1 and not 2/4 before they can apply anything. The students choose to put no thought at all into what they're doing.

I just saw that. Hopefully the media morons will sit up and give Paul more of the spotlight. He's been heretofore largely ignored. This is a good sign.

Because that magical day when you celebrate your 18th birthday your neurons suddenly start multiplicating themselves at 100 times the rate and you suddenly become an intelligent person. But you have to wait till your birthday. If you'd vote at 11:59:59 pm the previous night, you would still vote like a gigantic idiot.

It is a seemingly arbitrary cutoff, but I wonder, if we didn't have that cut-off, when would the cut-off be instead?

No no, that's true. At that exact moment, you're too wasted on all the alcohol you got to drink that you just couldn't...oh wait...

Now the real reason is because young people are more open to new ideas and the status quo must be maintained, so we better not let these young day dreamers mess with the way things are.

12. Let people vote at 12 is what I say.
The reason we don't allow people to vote until they are f**king 18 is because they will destroy the behemoth that is the public education system.

Paul did look a bit long in the tooth didn't he. I think that may hurt him, people seem to like someone vigorous for their nominee-- came in a close second to the crazy lady today though
