My son was told an online class was mandatory, under the assumption all kids will go to college, the school is saying this is to ready them for college. O.K. I can buy that. He will be going to collage so I approve. The class has a lot of homework not a problem he will have that in college so I approve. To do the homework you have to have a computer still not a problem. He is taking law 101 and here is where things go wrong. He was told he had to install software and the browser they use Mozilla (he has it) leave it open while using M.S. office doing home work. Why you ask?

Because they use what amounts to a key logger to make sure kids are not cheating. My son is computer savvy and immediately voiced his concern about the school having a key logger on his personal computer, to the chagrin of the teacher. (remember the laptops with cameras schools sent home). He asked how they get the information off the key logger. He asked does this give you access to my computer. He explained he uses Mozilla and M.S.office a lot for homework amongst other things and wanted to know more about access. They would not give him any explanation of the key logger, instead they said if he did not like it he would have to stay after school to do the work. I have called the school twice and am waiting far a callback.

What does this have to do with government you ask? If something is sanctioned by the state and U.S. Department of Education that is blatantly intrusive one must be concerned. If the schools are making kids install software that allows them access to computers who else" In the name of education" has access.

My question is, does anybody else have high school kids taking on line classes and\or

have you run into this problem or even know about it and\or do you feel this is another intrusion by our government?

If your kid is taking online classes and installed anything ( in the name of education) you use a browser and M.S. Office somebody at the school if not elsewhere most likely knows your business.

Remember the laptops with cameras?

Obama and the unions are the reason Toyota is under attack. Now they are going after suppliers Denso Corp, Yazaki North America and Tokai Rika all non union. Having read every crash statistic I could find Toyota is still one of, if not the safest automobiles in the world. People forget that Toyota is and has been the standard for quality and safety in the auto industry for many years. Research this and recalls in the auto industries and you will be amazed at what you find. If obama and his union thugs can destroy Toyota it will help GM Government Motors and the unions. They raided Denso among others for anti trust BS because these company's are not union and do not have the HUGE union overhead. Obama and the union criminals do not care about the tens of thousands of jobs the Toyota attack affects. The unions spent a billion dollars to get obama elected and now they want the favor returned. Having been a union employee and watching the way they destroyed the company I worked for I can tell you the unions are nothing but criminal organization's. Toyota is non union and the employees are happy with the jobs they hold. Denso is non union and the employees are happy with the jobs they hold. Last time the UAW union thugs went after denso they did not succeed. They went as far as to show up at the doors of employees with the bully tactic, I just wish they would have showed up at mine. The seiu would have McDonald's employees making 20$ dollars an hour could you imagine the cost of a big mac? Look people if the unions win we all loose. If you are a union employee ask yourself what have they done for you, you could have not done yourself. You seiu people know what I mean. Now if you are one of the incompetent people holding a job because of the unions all I can say is you are the problem. Teachers unions protect teachers right? And how does Americas education system rank in modernized countries again? Point made. So as I asked

Do you believe obama and unions are behind Toyota attacks?

This guy is still in campaign mode. He will say whatever it takes for people to fall in line.

This guy has lied so many times. Why are the bush haters not upset. Bush supposedly lied to protect us this guy just flat out lies time and time again and people just keep buying it. As far as i am concerned This guy would make one hell of a good car salesman that's it.

So as i asked.

If bush was a liar what is obama?

Is it just me or is obama still campaigning?

Is it just me or is obama NOT referring to his progressive friends as he has done so much in the past? Tonight it seems to be democrats and republicans. Could he be getting it?

In closing he just used the "put it on the internet" lie again.

In regards to

Health care reform, Cape and trade, and more?

Should obama.

A) Stop the lunacy?

or

B) At least have the decency to kiss us first?

68 degrees here in the land of loons Michigan.

Global warming ain't it a beoch.

Whats your temp and location?

Your thoughts on Crap and Paid i mean Cap and Trade?

no never do you?

How long till the current government try to overturn the two term limit?

and

Are you for no term limits. This means anybody not just the chosen one.

Looking at the past half year-

If all you fine folks that gave us our current president had it to do over again would you still vote the same way?

and

Would any of you fine folks that did not vote for him, vote for him?

We recently had our well pulled and casing fix due to a moron in a plow truck. After chlorinating all was well till today. I went to do dishes and found the water had turned to clear slime. Like the snotty stuff in ghost busters but perfectly clear. Think 20w 50 clear motor oil with thick spots. The water has a strange smell not that of iron or sulfur but sweeter and is stronger in the hot water. And the water leaves my hands feeling like I have oil on them. I have allergies and asthma and it seems to bother my lungs. I have searched the net and find nothing.

This is without the water softener operational or any filtering devices.

Any help would be appreciated Thanks Dowdit...

I have a call into the well guy just waiting. I hope the bad news is i need a new well the good news is i struck oil.

Any good jokes.

What do Geitner and my 5 year old have in common? Neither has the mental capacity to use turbo tax.

Wait can my 5 year old be Treasury Secretary?

Call me silly I thought tax evasion was a crime.

I guess if you think about it, it’s more tragic than funny.

What would you like for your constituents? and how much do you need?

And remember cost is no problem we have plenty of printing presses. And our children, I mean grand children; I mean great grand children can pick up the tab.

When it comes to politics do you listen to yourself? Think about what you are saying? Know the facts (I realize they are irrelevant to a lot of you) about what you are discussing? Do you truly understand YOUR own politics?

It appears to me a lot of folks on here are clueless from both sides of the isle.

Now as you attack me, this question and each other think about the Question.

And if you find you don’t like your answer don’t take it out on me.

Does anybody know of a Q & A site similar to this one that freedom of speech still counts?

I had 6 questions removed last night, I obviously upset somebody, they had no hate no cussing anything that would justify there removal.

I have answers removed regularly mind you I do get harsh in some but no harsher then that of my liberal foes. I have had answers removed that had no harshness no sarcasm nothing simply because they did not like it OR they realized I was right. (In both ways)

These people argue they are the people of TOTAL freedom and human RIGHTS. What about my freedom of speech? What about my right to be heard? What about my right to ask?

50 bucks says this will be removed.

Does anybody know of a Q & A site similar to this one that freedom of speech still counts?

This is an answer to a respectfully submitted question i asked. "Hate is healthy: it makes you strong and ruthless, which is a recipe for success. If you're full of compassion, love and any other such pathetic mammalian feelings you won't ever get far in life.

As for FOX, we hate them. And we hate you, too. Pray you're never close to one of us when no one is looking. "

i hate msnbc and find somethings on cnn questionable but

"we hate them. And we hate you, too. Pray you're never close to one of us when no one is looking. " seems a tad strong. or maybe even PSYCHOTIC. Please tell me this is not the voice of the left.

Why when Glenn was on CNN you lefties did not bother him?

He moves to fox and you act like rabid dogs. He is still the same person with the same views. I think MSNBC and CNN have some kind of subliminal message thing going on. There has to be. Is there anybody on fox you can stand? I’m sure your answers will prove my point. I watch all cannels read all kinds of papers. I just don’t understand the hate.

What best describes you?

If all the money in the country was gathered and then split up to every inhabitant I would be happy?

If all the money in the country was gathered and given to the government for distribution per a persons needs (get it) I would be happy.

Leave my money alone and I will be happy.
