No, rather, my theory is that short people will eventually become dictators. Napolean, Mao, Stalin, and Hitler were all pretty short. And the North Korean dictator has to wear high heels to make himself look taller!
Hmmm Zipper, I doubt that you are 5' 8". More like 5' 5"?
And also, why don't you just go to a better school?

Well I just hope that Zipper doesn't go into politics. Even if he did, I just earned my citizenship, and I ain't voting for him.

That is a horrible, terrible idea which would fail to prepare people academically, socially and in every other metric you could possibly use.

^^^^^^^^ Your response is not supported by reason. It's pure emotion. I talked about my plan with a psychology professor, and he approved.
Also, I really am 5 foot 8 inches.
please visit The Spirit of Resistance Lives, and you will see the need for a dictator.

^^^^^ I can explain. Pretty much socialism, yes, with my education system. Gov. and society centered around learning.
Research and group interaction emphasises. I did 3 research projects in HS--seimen semi 2 times--so I sort of know how to do research.
No capatlism, and very environmental friendly. I have incorporated basic elements of religions--Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christanity, Dowism, Comfusism, and Shikism--to create a form of moral and social order. Religion will also play a role, as Eric Errision would say, to serve as a lense to see the world.
Everyone will be very considerate of other religions.
I feel very uncomfortable explaning in detail right now, but if you can e-mail me, I will.

The key thing I heard was "no capitalism". Buddy, it's not possible to get rid of capitalism.

I explained before, that capitalism is part of the concept "survival of the fittest". Like it or not, but each one of us is out here to promote ourselves. If we didn't, we'd die from our lack of motivation. The USSR's economy wasn't exactly spiffy, being that no one had motivation to work (because everyone's pay was the same, why try?)

^^^^^^^^^^ NO NO NO! Their WILL be competition, but not where learning is concerned. You learn for fun.
Also, I'm not too sure that self promotion is the soul goal of life. If you read about differnent cultures--Asian, in particular--you might think otherwise.

Also, "survival of the fittest" refers to REPRODUCTIVELY FIT. not what you are using it as. Falty reasoning. Got is straight, chap.
REPRODUCTIVELY FIT="survival of the fittest"

zipper, here is a website for you: Insight School
This should work for SOME kids. HS is not about grades, classes, hallway passes, shared lockers, detentions, but it is the place where you (hopefully) should make some friends and learn how to deal with the oh so imperfect world.
Added: "Survival of the fittest" is all about reproduction? Try the corporate world.

Ick, gosh no. That educational system would irk me to no end. No grades?! There's no competition in that. And for Economics we already learn stuff through computer and honestly, I haven't anything from it. I like being able to ask questions and such, but with a teacher that doesn't know his stuff, all have is a guy in a yellow shirt that talks non-stop on my laptop.
