#69 — (instead of pointing out the reason that some children were being left behind is a cultural problem)
I too view it as absurd but because it’s a mathematics problem: by definition, half of us are below average. Fixing education will require the very un-PC step of admitting that many kids are better off in trade school rather than college.
#67 — Let’s see, even if we lost all the gays (which I know isn’t the case), that’s what, all of 3% of the population?
And as long as we’re slogging math… the problem isn’t the gay votes, but the loss of votes due to image. The republicans are largely viewed as anti-science and letting religious views impede progress. This is but one facet. You as much as said this in your screed regarding media. Now, do you think you can fix the media problem you wrote about by handing your opponent the ammo, the gun, and pointing it at your own feet? Or is the better strategy one that denies the ammunition? You decide.
