   Quote of the Day

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

-John F. Kennedy

Reading Spellings

Education Secretary Margaret Spellings scares the crap outta me.

Spellings and others would like a national database that discloses things like graduation rates, how well students are educated and how much they earn afterward.

"I think it will happen" because families want it, says Spellings, the mother of a college student herself. "Consumer demand is a big part of this."

She's in which political party? Criminy, if it's consumer demand, then what's the problem? Why does the government need to involve its fat self?

Not a bad idea, if the private market would do it. My wife got accepted into a school for a program that costed 18,000 a year, and lead to a carrer that payed less then 30,000. She turned it down and took a different job.
