Unemployment increases significantly in November

no, you're the Harvard haiku master...

Seriously, do you remember the Harvard professor (Banfield?) who got in trouble for suggesting that whites were more intelligent than blacks? I don't think our problems will be solved by importing a bunch of engineers from Mumbai. Their kids would have to deal with the same crappy schools, drugs, and video game distractions that ours do.

Schools, especially at the local level, are almost entirely the result of what the local populace wants and expects of the schools and, most importantly, what they are willing to spend the time and energy to make sure they get what they want. I do think the problem that we have today, and you touched on it, is the lack of education. But it's not because of not being able to get it, but more so from education not being a priority for far too many people, and of all races and creeds. Too many people don't want to work for things yet still expect to get whatever they want. We need more people in this country that strive for things and unfortunately we're not getting it. Maybe more engineers from Mumbai would at least start that process again of people coming here with ideas and know-how and, most importantly, the drive to use those tools to be successful.

That's what I said, in fewer words, a couple of posts back. It's not genetics, it's the culture.

Haiku fail.

pffft... those are brilliant (Thank you very much)
Plus the old ball and chain girl friend speaks in Haiku's (seriously, she does) so I have developed a natural Haiku language skill set translator

89 was too hard on our friend chizzy. Which gives me an idea for a new thread in the Locker Room.

Whoa..!!!
You better chex yo sef before your T-Rex yourself Bro

There are dozens of properly defined Haiku formula's
Not all have to be 5-7-5 my friend
While many early English-language haiku poets indeed write in the 5-7-5
Historically haiku poets have pretty much discarded that format....

I believe his point was that "the evidence suggests" white people might be smarter...
He had a whole thing on white trash poor too (very entertaining)
He and Milton Friedman were roommates in college - life long buddies I hear (I cannot confirm that)

I leave you with a closing white trash Haiku

Oh shotgun misfires
Loaded with soggy shot
Squirrel for lunch

or

Unemployment funds low
Hey disability paperwork man
Bus pass suspended

My truck is on blocks
My trailer on bottomland
Life is wonderful
