<p>We pigeon hole or stove pipe courses as if they are narrow tubes of learning and not related to that next course offered down the hall by that weird professor wearing a french beret (rhetorical remark only, not political).</p>
<p>Looks like a GREAT place to retire! Thanks. In the meantime, maybe some teachers will get the hint of this thread to start teaching some TRUTH (not religious), and stop teaching fairy tales (history and english and non math classes are the worst). We can’t figure out where we are going until we figure out how we got here. I mean that.</p>
<p>The history of the human race is pretty amazing…and we are witnessing some amazing things right now. Politics aside, there are stunning developments: the death of newspapers and all print journalism, the internet obsession and gadgetry which replaces relationships…its bizarre.</p>
<p>Serial killer David Parker Ray lived in Truth or Consequences. On September 20, 2001, he was sentenced to 224 years in prison for abduction, rape, torture and — in some cases — murder of at least 12 people, although the FBI estimates the total number of victims could be as high as 60.</p>
