Standardized testing will inevitably lead to gaming the system whether its schools or fuel economy

It appears that a combination of perverse financial incentives and increasingly lax definitions of "disease" are leading to ever more medicating of our society? Does society benefit? Probably not, but big pharma sure does.

I would suggest an alternative, class action suit against ignorance and bigotry

I wish I could be as hopeful as some that this is a last gasp from the extreme right, I don't believe it is. 

I know my children don't believe in this hateful nonsense, but as long as people like Rick Scarborough are around espousing this crap to children and simple-minded adults, this will continue. It's been 150 years since the civil war and we still have racism. 

Reshared post from +Phil Nickinson

At some points news orgs really have to stop reporting this shit like it's anything other than pure, unadulterated bullshit spewed by hateful people who desperately want nothing more than to win at something … anything.

We are better than this. Our kids, thank God, will be better than this. Begone, old, white establishment.

I spent 4 years trying to explain green cars on Autoblog, but Otto Blopnik does it so much better in 8 slides today

I normally hate recommending these sorts of slide shows, but it's worth it to read Otto's incredibly lucid prose.
