Nowhere did I say that. You didn't use those words, but that is what you described. That assumes that every single person will receive exactly the same benefit from the justice system, which is highly improbable. The citizens. Who are the same folks that guarantee everything else. In other words, taxpayers, since taxes are how the citizens guarantee such financial obligations. Actually, I was postulating a system without taxation, so there would be no taxpayers. The citizens would guarantee the revenue stream by actually paying attention to the accounts and managing the spending from them. Responsible accounting does not equate to guaranteeing revenue. The only way to guarantee revenue is to have a source of revenue from which funds can be diverted. If that alternate source of revenue is the citizens, then the revenue they provide is tax money.

The founders of the state, or, alternately, the citizens at the time the reform was instituted. So, you would establish the funds by way of wealth redistribution. The citizens.

If it took him 15 years to gain the knowledge associated with middle school, a GED might not be a realistic goal. Having said that, the example was intended only to illustrate the point that someone who learns faster than someone else can learn more in the same amount of time, which is generally beneficial.

This would provide incentives to those working in the justice system to convict, regardless of guilt. One incentive is the revenue stream and/or free/low cost labor each conviction would produce. Another incentive would be that the costs associated with acquittals would go unrecovered. Who would bear the cost of setting up such a perpetuity? Who would guarantee the continued revenue stream? That sounds like a justice system that provides the best justice money can buy (i.e. justice only for those who can afford it). Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Adam completes middle school (grades 6-8) in three years. Bob takes 15 years to complete the same three grades. During the last nine years of Bob's middle school attendance, Adam went on to graduate from high school, earn an undergrad degree and started grad school. But, in the end, they both earned their middle school educations. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

The results are pretty much as I expected. Illusory superiority is the concept I had in mind when I created the poll. What does surprise me is the number of people who believe their intelligence to be exactly average. Right now, that option makes up 10/61 of the responses. That number should be much closer to zero, even if, as Wendy suggests, SC self selects more intelligent among DZ.commers or the population at large. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

We should be looking to the Soviet war in Afghanistan for guidance. We're fighting the next generation of the same mujahideen, only this time we are fighting on the other side, making our position analogous to the USSR's. No, it's not winnable as a military conflict. Fighting it as such plays right into al Qaeda's strategy. No, we shouldn't send in more troops. It was a bad idea to send the troops that we've already deployed to Afghanistan. The WTC attacks left the USA with the need to do some intensive international police work to bring the perpetrators to justice. Instead of doing that, the former administration waged a war on Afghanistan. That strategy allowed al Qaeda to grow and become a movement. Sending more troops only perpetuates that strategic blunder. Army Rangers are not the same as Army Special Forces. Some troops may go to both schools and are considered to both, but to be considered Army Special Forces, a soldier must be qualified to wear the green beret and the Special Forces tab.

I consider intelligence to be different from education level. I've known highly intelligent people whose education ranges from dropping out of high school to holding Ph.D. degrees. I've also encountered people with Ph.D.'s who I wouldn't consider intelligent by any stretch of the imagination. I think there's a correlation between intelligence and higher academic accomplishment, but correlation does not prove causation. There's also a positive correlation between kids owning lots of books and better academic performance, but that doesn't mean that buying your kid a bunch of books will guarantee that they'll do well in school.

However, "they're doing it, and their systems, while not perfect, seem to be working better than ours" does seem to be a viable argument.

From District of Columbia v. Heller: Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.
