Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, October 27 2006 08:14 Profile Homepage #10 Most of the debate is over human cloning, and the numerous groups trying to make it look like the amendment allows it. And a lot of it is about Jim Talent trying to get his sorry self re-elected... his "faith and moral values" platform apparently prevents him from reading the actual amendment, because he opposes it on the grounds that cloning is immoral. Another aspect of it is that some of us in Missouri want the state to have the chance at doing serious research. Washington University in St. Louis in particular, which has an incredibly prominent (read: full of itself) medical school... But basically, you can't go anywhere without seeing ads for it now. To add to the insanity (and because it's kinda funny), here's an opposition site, one which has had a lot of media time lately: www.2Tricky.org. Yes, they actually did that. quote: Originally written by Spookee Salmon: our fine state from the middle of the nowhere section of the country. ... :P -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

I go to a Catholic University, and I can't tell you how much time I've wasted learning theology when I could have been learning something useful. Wait... okay, you're not disagreeing anymore. And shouldn't competing institutions be allowed to develop their own agendas, in the spirit of furthering said competition? :P Now, for some rapid-fire quoting: quote: Obviously, tuition for grade school would be nowhere near as much as college. That's still not much of a comfort, honestly. quote: Companies have a habit of not charging people more than they can afford, as this tends to lose them money. You see, this just leads to more loans... companies only refrain from charging people more than they can afford when they know there's no way they can get away with it. Loans are an established, heck, almost expected part of the college process at this point... ripe for exploitation by private institutions. quote: Plus, people will have the money they didn't lose to school tax. ...which will be promptly spent on skyrocketing tuitions. I fail to see your point. quote: In poorer areas the schools will be poorer, but this is how it is today, anyway. The only way those area will be saved is with communism. You just strangled your own argument to death... or was the communism comment sarcasm? Either that, or you're condemning poorer areas to inadequate education for eternity, pending the arrival of a magnanimous philanthropist. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, October 26 2006 22:11 Profile Homepage #44 quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: Think about it, if education were privatized, it would lead to competition, and wouldn't that lead to higher education overall? Consider how Universities work. I go to a university where tuition tops out at about $47,000 per academic year. [b]THAT[/b] is where competition gets you. Our school is obsessed with getting back into the top 10 colleges in the U.S., and it just means more tuition increases, more insane policies, more bloody-minded construction destroying our beautiful campus in the name of our 'academic future' (when the buildings in question won't be complete until we graduate). I don't want competition, I want education. Gah. I can't see privatization actually doing anything positive for education, unless you count further intellectual stratification of our country as a good thing. Personally, I don't. (For the record, the only reason that I can afford this university is because my dad works at the nearby hospital, and thus is technically on faculty for the med school.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, October 26 2006 22:04 Profile Homepage #0 Alright, everyone. Now that we've seen ballot initiatives from the west coast of the US, here's something straight out of the heartland. The issue at hand is stem cell research, which has had a lot of political grandstanding surrounding it. Given that, I'll limit the endorsements section. quote: Official Fair Ballot Language for Missouri Constitutional Amendment 2: A "yes" vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to allow and set limitations on stem cell research, therapies, and cures which will: ensure Missouri patients have access to any therapies and cures, and allow Missouri researchers to conduct any research, permitted under federal law;ban human cloning or attempted cloning;require expert medical and public oversight and annual reports on the nature and purpose of any stem cell research;impose criminal and civil penalties for any violations; andprohibit state or local governments from preventing or discouraging lawful research, therapies and cures.A "no" vote would not ensure that stem cell research permitted under federal law is allowed to be conducted in Missouri and that Missouri patients have access to stem cell therapies and cures permitted under federal law. This measure will have no impact on taxes. The full text is here. A few endorsements: For: Clare McCaskill - Candidate for U.S. Senate, Missouri seat (Democrat)Michael J.

Libertarianism - yay or nay? in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, October 26 2006 21:48 Profile Homepage #40 Meh, Libertarianism has its appeals to me, but it contains too many paranoid nutcases for me to really feel supportive. I like the idea of being fiscally conservative while socially liberal... but there's just some stuff I can't agree with. For instance, the libertarian group on my campus came to one of my classes last year, and they tried to advance an argument for the privatization of all education. Stuff like that... I just can't agree with it. Tax breaks won't solve everything, and the idea of cutting back on everything but the army sounds way too much like a feudal system... or the standard 'petty warlord' model. quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: Ever since people started callingme ET, I have been waiting for someone to make this puerile observation.
