Politics Donald Trump is indisputably the worst president in American history

[Chris Craig]

I am not saying all college kids are uninformed but the shit spreading around those campuses is bad for this country.

In the lecture videos I see students questioning, using critical thinking. That is the very essence of learning. Maybe they are right, maybe they are not. The problem with those videos, is they don't show a willing conversation. A true conversation requires that both parties accept the possibility that they may be wrong.

The doctor who delivered me and my siblings was my doctor all my life until I left for the navy...he made housecalls...he also accepted farm goods like homemade ice cream or meat from our livestock in barter....those days are gone...so are the manual crank phones with the mouthpiece that hung on the wall back then

We had a family doctor who would make house calls back in the mid 50s. I got deathly ill once and he probably saved my life. I remember being delirious and eating a lot of chicken noodle soup and drinking a lot of 7-Up. He quarantined our house for a while. Dr. O'Shea. Probably dead for the last 50 years.

 

[Chris Craig]

nah...it's just shit spreading around a campus....young rage...and it's nothing new...read up on the Civil Rights movement and the Viet Nam protests...that was some rage

Exactly, its young people yearning to understand the world, which has the illusion of being quite complex

My doctor back then said the worst thing you could do with sick people is bring them to a public place to sit around other sick people...and he could see the environment where you got sick in your home first hand...made sense to me

Okay I am done here. Brainwashed is what you are sir and I am sorry for you

Well actually I think the best conversations occur when both parties expect neither party to be wrong.

But I think this is an example of how out dated the concept of the University system is.
When I wanted to become a farmer, I quickly thought I best learn how to do it. So I went to UC Davis and bought their books required to get a degree in Agriculture.
Damn! it turned out to be one book that actually dealt with Agriculture. Big sucker, but I plowed through it in about three weeks, a little less maybe.
Then I went to my ranch and gathered up the tools and equipment needed and went to work. Being rather mechanically minded, bought a lot of the stuff used and fixed
it, including the seed drill.

You set the seed rate for grain in pounds per acre with a lever that adjusts the crude analog machinery. And this where the first clue of trouble hit me.

How many pound of wheat seed per acre?

Back to the book, a huge 900 page book! No damn way is there a true glossary entry for seed or what?

A week later and I do not know how much seed to buy!! Shit it has to be in the ground no later that 10 days away!

I see old Cat Wheeler out in his field, maybe a half mile away, so I get on it, over there to ask him if he knows. Sure he does, depends on this that and several other things.
Dammit Cat! How much fucking seed for this ground?
45#/ ac is about right.

A few years later when Google is working good on the PC, I find that dang book in digital and I search it for the answer. Not in there, the whole damn basis for degree in agriculture
from one of the top Ag Schools in the country.

But look at how easy it is to get the answer today with nothing to do with any University.
Just ask Google!

Isn't that one dang near free at your local community college?

Community colleges are a lot more expensive than you remember, but still in the affordable range for most of us.

But in all fairness you are right. I like to hire a person to cover that skill set. You know get a person with the aptitude you need, especially when you lack.
Then you can fire the sucker if they let you get into trouble.

Well Mar if you are hiring people for their expertise in humanities and relying on their advise then there might be hope still for you yet. I will be holding my breath.

Ha! Of course I think we use people with the appropriate aptitude to complete the team. Complimentary assets makes up the best team.
I even believe we need Democrats. Hopefully they eventually do what you need of Democrats.

I had the measles. No one except the doctor was allowed in or out of our house. He even posted a quarantine sign on the front door.

Heard something the other that was interesting, and made me think.

Have you ever gone to the doctors office or hospital, and soon after come down with a new illness? I believe I have, several times. But how?

Q. What is the first thing the receptionist does when you go in?

A. She makes you fill out paperwork, and hands you a pencil or pen that every sick person before you used.

good to wash your hands in that case but it's the air that will get you in those places..my wife shops for groceries with handi wipes ...won't open a freezer door to get milk with her bare hands....I'm not that particular but I wash my hands often...working with the disabled makes one have that habit

I got so sick at a hospital once that they had to admit me to the emergency room and then to the ICU where I remained for 3 1/2 weeks. I was out of it for over two weeks. I woke up at about 2AM or 3 AM and saw maybe three or four doctors conferring. I woke up after maybe 3 weeks and said "Am I gonna live?" Yes, they replied. I started to cry. My wife came in, she had been crying for all three of those weeks, and asked if I knew her. I couldn't say her name or who she was but I knew she was very familiar. I just wanted to go back to sleep but she kept pestering me. I had to learn to walk and talk all over again. When they released me from the hospital, I was never so happy in my life.

I had one other incident where I got placed in ICU but that time only lasted 3 days.

So, you see, I've got to have AWD to assure my wife that she can get me to the hospital in the winter in the event that the ambulance can't make it.
