Something Smells Bad

All of this simply smells bad and has us hesitate. When the bullish percentage indicator goes above 70 we become concerned not just of oversold conditions but that euphoria has taken over.

We have sold a great number of stocks and options at great profits and never push our luck

It is time to sit back on hands and wait

You all know me so I won't explain.

The fucking idiots in Washington, led by Pee Partiers and others that want to "improve our standard of education" through testing are trying a time proven to fail approach. Uniform testing is not reasonable in a country of small towns, big cities, multi cultural, multi language, and it makes good teachers all want to quit.

Our 28-year daughter, a masters in Education, is in her 6th year teaching. Her middle school class (11 year old average) has kids up to 15 years that have failed many times, kids from other countries that come in legally and speak no to little English. There is no way someone could provide testing of reason to this varied a class.

So, the education system will likely lose one of its best teachers, because she values individualism and creativity, what real education is about.

America is NOT white people with all good kids and great family values, nor is all-Christian. America is going through massive change right now. Let's not be led by "false facts" to make our education "better" when, in fact, it does not.
