SUBJECT: In Quantum Mechanics the level 2p overlaps the level s
Dear Dr. Villeneuve
According to Quantum Mechanics the level 2p overlaps the level s.
However the photo obtained in your experiments shows that QM´s
assumption is WRONG (there is NOT overlap between 2p and s).
I would like to say that the form of the orbit 2p obtained in your
photo is a prediction of my theory since 1993, when I have developed a
NEW MODEL OF ELECTROSPHERE (in my model there is not overlap between
the levels p and s).
Other prediction of my theory is that in the levels 1s and 2s each of
the electrons have a well-determined trajectory. Do you think that
your technology will be able to get photos of the levels s ?
Other proposals of my new "QUANTUM RING THEORY" are the following:
PROPOSAL 1) My theory proposes a new hydrogen atom in which the
mechanism for photons EMISSION by the atom is DIFFERENT of the
mechanism for photons ABSORPTION by the atom (the paper will be
published in the upcoming issue of the JOURNAL OF NEW ENERGY)..
In my theory it is shown that the inverse spectrum (spectrum of
absorption) must be explained by considering two DIFFERENT mechanisms
(one mechanism for the emission and another for the absorption).
According to Quantum Mechanics the mechanism of emission is the same of
that for the absorption (that´s why QM is UNABLE to explain the
inverse spectrum).
QUESTION 1: DO YOU THINK THAT WILL YOUR TECHNOLOGY BE ABLE IN THE
FUTURE OF TAKING PHOTOS THAT SHOW US IF THE MECHANISM OF EMISSION IS
DIFFERENT OF THAT FOR ABSORPTION?
PROPOSAL 2) In my new hydrogen atom the electron moves in the
electrosphere through a helical trajectory.
QUESTION 2: DO YOU THINK THAT FROM A SEQUENCE OF PHOTOS WILL YOUR
TECHNOLGY BE ABLE TO SHOW THE HELICAL TRAJECTORY OF THE ELECTRON?
PROPOSAL 3) In my new model of hydrogen atom it is shown that for the
emission the mechanism is the following:
A) The electron stays storing energy by turning about the proton, and
it accumulates a big energy before to jump.
B) Then the electron makes a BIG JUMPING (such Big Jumping is
constituted by several consecutive jumpiness), and after emitting
several photons the electron goes back to store more energy about the
proton.
QUESTION 3: DO YOU THINK WILL YOUR TECHNOLOGY BE ABLE OF TAKING PHOTOS
SHOWING THE MECHANISM OF "BIG JUMPING"?

Dear Christy
In Dec-2004 the journal NATURE has published an article that describes
a fantastic experiment: scientists led by David Villeneuve have
obtained a photo of the electron´s orbit in the level 2p within the
nitrogen molecule.
In July-2004 I have sent you the manuscript of my book "RING THEORY-
Foundations for Cold Fusion".
Please look at the paper No. 20 (entitled "Mechanism for Pauli´s
Exclusion Principle").
In the paper it is proposed a NEW MODEL OF ELECTROSPHERE, in which the
electrons have a well determined trajectory (each orbit is perused by
an electron going through a helical trajectory (see Fig. 4.7 and Fig.
6.3). My model is therefore different of that considered in Quantum
Mechanics, since Heisenberg proposed to banish the concept of
electron´s trajectory in the quantum theory.
But considering the diamagnetism of the nitrogen molecule, in my paper
I show that it can be explained through the following assumption only:
the electrons of the levels 1s and 2s must have a well determined orbit
(otherwise it is IMPOSSIBLE to explain the diamagnetism).
Thereby a controversy has been established, as follows:
1) From quantum theory the electrons have not a trajectory within the
electrosphere
2) But the diamagnetism CANNOT EXIST from such a concept of Quantum
Mechanics (that is shown in my paper).
3) Then of course that the theorists up to now have preferred to
neglect my advertise (according which it is IMPOSSIBLE to explain the
diamagnetism by keeping the concept according which there are not
trajectories within the atom)
Nevertheless, probably in 2005 such a controversy will be eliminated by
the experiments (they will show if the trajectories exist, or not, into
the electrosphere)
The journal Nature brings a commentary by Henrik Stapelfeldt (Aarhus
University) where he calls our attention to the large possibilities
that now is opened by this new technology.
Stapelfeldt´s opinion encourages me to hope that in 2005 the scientist
will get photos of the levels 1s and 2s within the nitrogen molecule.
Supposing that these new upcoming experiments will confirm that in the
levels 1s and 2s the electrons indeed have a well determined trajectory
(a supposition that we expect from the fact that the diamagnetism is an
existent phenomenon), such a confirmation will imply the following:
1) My new model of electrosphere is CORRECT
2) And therefore the electron moves within the electrosphere in well
determined trajectories
3) Since the Heisenberg´s uncertainty can be conciliated with the
concept of trajectory only by considering the helical trajectory of
elementary particles...
4) ...then it is UNAVOIDABLE the introduction of the helical trajectory
in the concepts of QM.
5) Therefore a new model of hydrogen atom, based on the electron´s
helical trajectory, will be required (working through the new concepts
proposed in my paper No. 4, which would be published in the Journal of
New Energy, in July-2004 ; unfortunately the Editor-in-Chief Hal Fox
has postponed the publication, by alleging missing of funds).
It´s even reasonable to think that these upcoming new experiments may
get photos of the electron´s helical trajectory. In this way perhaps
my new hydrogen atom can be confirmed by experiments in 2005.
Along the years between 1999 and 2004 I used to think that a
confirmation for my theory would have to come from upcoming discoveries
in the field of cold fusion (as for example, from the consideration of
my new model of neutron, and from the consideration of the papers of
mine concerning the new nuclear model proposed in my theory).
Of course that I could never imagine that a confirmation for my theory
could coming from experiments (photos) showing the geometry of the
electron´s orbit, since few years ago nobody could expect a technology
able to supply photos of the electron´s trajectory within the atoms.
>From the facts exposed herein, one easily may realize that 2005 can be
a decisive year for the confirmation of my theory.
I hope that the new experiments to be developed along 2005 will say
"WELCOME" to my book, which I expect shall be published in the
upcoming months.

WLADIMIR GUGLINSKI
PS for HAL FOX (editor, Journal of New Energy): dear friend, in
Jan-2000 I sent you the manuscript of my book. Probably when you read
it in 2000 you did not pay attention to the proposal of mine on the NEW
MODEL OF ELECTROSPHERE. If you kept the manuscript with yourself, you
can verify by yourself what I am saying here. I invite you of going to
look at the paper No 20 (Mechanism for Pauli´s Exclusion Principle),
and to analyze the question concerning the diamagnetism.
THIRD MESSAGE:
TO: DR. MICHAEL ROUKES
FROM: WLADIMIR GUGLINSKI
Cc: Hal Fox
I have read your article about the development of the nanotechnology
published in the Scientific American magazine.
In your article you say that it is missing the knowledge of some
fundamental principles for understanding the behavior of the particles.
It is not a surprise, since the available theoretical tool that you
have up to now is the current quantum theory. And although Quantum
Mechanics is tremendous tool, however it is not able to explain some
single phenomena.
For instance, Quantum Mechanics is unable to explain the inverse
spectrum (the spectrum of absorption).
It is a opinion of several scientiists that QM is an incomplete theory.
It is my opinion too, and in the case QM is indeed incomplete, of
course that uou will not be able to understand the fundamental
mechanisms in the field of nanotechnology by trying to understand it
taking an incomplete theory which is even unable to explain a single
phenomenon like the inverse spectrum.
In my opinion, the nanotechnology needs a theory able to explain single
phenomena, like the inverse spectrum.
Since 1991 I am working in a new theory, in order to find a new model
of atom able to explain some phenomena that Quantum Mechanics is unable
to explain.
I discovered a new model of hydrogen atom able to conciliate the
Bohr´s corpuscular model with the Schroedinger´s Equation. I suppose
you may understand the tremendous advantage of this new model, because
it is able to explain at the same time those phenomena that require a
corpuscular model of electron, and those other ones that require a wave
model of electron.
My paper proposing the new hydrogen atom will be published in the
upcoming issue of the Journal of New Energy. The paper is incorporated
to my book QUANTUM RING THEORY, that will be published in 2005 (the
book is a collection of 24 papers of mine).
The reason why Quantum Mechanics is unable to explain the inverse
spectrum is the following: the explanation of such phenomenon requires
a model in which the mechanism for EMISSION of photons must be
DIFFERENT of the mechanism for ABSORPTION of photons. Since in Quantum
Mechanics the mechanism of emission is the same of that for absorption,
this is the reason why QM cannot explain the inverse spectrum.
In my new hydrogen the absorption and the emission have different
mechanisms.
So, I have the strong conviction that a theory unable to explain a
single phenomenon like the inverse spectrum cannot supply to the
researchers a complete background of the fundamental principles that
guide the atom's behavior in some special conditions (as they are now
undertaken in the development of the nanotechnology).
Other phenomenon that Quantum Mechanics is unable to explain is the
diamagnetism. And it is easy to understand why. Indeed, consider a
molecule of iron and a molecule of nitrogen. The magnetism of the iron
and the diamagnetism of the nitrogen are due to the same cause: the
magnetic field produced by the electron's external orbit. However,
there is a fundamental question to be answered:
1) In the iron the micro-magnetic field produced by the electron's
orbit gets alignment with the external macri-magnetic field in which
the iron's molecule is immersed.
2) But in the case of the nitrogen molecule, the nuxei-magnetic field
produced by the electron's orbit gets a direction contrary of that of
the external macro-magnetic field. Why? We would have to expect that
the micro-magnetic field produced within the nitrogen molecule would
have to take the same direction of the external macro-magnetic field,
like happens in the case of the iron molecule.
3) For explaining the behavior of the NITROGEN MOLECULE, it is
indispensable to consider the following:
A) There is an internal orbit that yields a WEAK micro-magnetic field
but with a LONG mechanical arm (with regard to the rotation center of
the molecule). The weak magnetic force together with the long arm
generates a big mechanical momentum, and it makes the molecule to
gyrate.
B) The external electron's orbit is not able of making the molecule
to gyrate, because it has no arm with regard to the center of the
molecule (but this external orbit produces a STRONG micro-magnetic
field). The vector of such strong micro-magnetic field and the vector
of the weak micro-magnetic field have CONTRARY directions..
C) So, the long arm puts the strong micro-magnetic field of the
nitrogen molecule in a direction contrary of that of the external
macro-magnetic field in which the molecule is immersed.
In a paper of mine I show that the explanation for the diamagnetism
requires the concept of well-determined orbits.
At the first glance it seems that the concept of well-determined orbit
is INCOMPATIBLE with the Heisenberg's uncertainty. Nevertheless such
conclusion is wrong. The concept of well-determined orbit is
conciliated with the uncertainty when we consider the helical
trajectory of the elementary particles.
First of all we have realize the following: actually a particle moving
through a helical trajectory does NOT have a well-determined trajectory
(and so in this sense the helical trajectory is COMPATIBLE with the
Heisenberg's uncertainty. Actually such a new concept of trajectory
would have a behavior that remembers the old concept of trajectory
proposed by Feynman, where the electron seems to occupy several places
in the same time).
However by considering that a helical trajectory has a CENTER about
which the electron moves, such a CENTER of the electron's trajectory
peruses a well-determined trajectory (and then in AVERAGE the
electron's motion can be considered as it would be moving through a
well-determined trajectory).
In my paper it is shown that from these concepts it is possible to
explain the diamagnetism, i. e., by considering well-determined orbits
into the nitrogen molecule,
In 1989 Dr. Hans Dehmelt awarded the Nobel Prize with a new technology.
His experiments had shown that, when the electron jumps into the
electrosphere of atoms, it peruses the space between two levels (which
suggests that the electron jumps through well-determined trajectory).
Since the concept of perusing the space within the electrosphere is not
compatible with Quantum Mechanics, the theorists interpreted
Dehmelt's experiments by some considerations trying to keep the
original foundations of QM.
As I said, the electron's helical trajectory cannot be considered as
a well-determined trajectory. However the CENTER of the helical
trajectory describes a well-determined trajectory, and such new way of
considering the electron's motion can explain the Dehmelt's
experiments by a new viewpoint.
But new improvements in Dehmelt's technology are being introduced
nowadays. In the National Research Council of Canada the physicist Dr.
David Villeneuve is developing experiments that I hope will be able to
confirm my theory (the journal Nature published in Dec-2004 a paper
that shows photos of the orbit 2p of the nitrogen molecule).
The first thing that we note in the photo obtained by Dr. Villeneuve is
the fact that the orbit 2p does not penetrate into the level s (as you
know, according to Quantum Mechanics there is an overlapping of about
10% of the orbit 2p on the orbits s).
Such form of the orbit 2p shown by Villeneuve's photo CORROBORATES my
theory (in my new model of electrosphere there is NOT overlapping
between 2p and s). And so you realize that at least the beginning of
the Villeneuve's technology is corroborating my theory (unlike, the
Villeneuve's experiment is showing that something is WRONG with the
model of electrosphere proposed according to Quantum Mechanics). I
expect that more experiments made along 2005 will emphasize such
conclusion, that is, that my theory is CORRECT, and that something is
missing in the model of QM.
Among several new concepts proposed in my new hydrogen atom, I can
mention the contraction of the space into the electrosphere (there is
not such a concept in Quantum Mechanics). On another way, the helical
trajectory has a property that I named ZOOM-EFFECT, according which the
radius of the helical trajectory can change, as follows:
1) The radius of the helical trajectory decreases with the growth of
the electron's speed. An electron with relativistic speed has a
motion that approaches to the Newtonian classical trajectory, because
the radius of the helical trajectory tends to zero.
2) The radius of the helical trajectory depends on the contraction of
the space within the electrosphere.
These two properties due to the Zoom-effect can be responsible for
several behavior that probably the researchers are unable to understand
in the field of nanotechnology.
I think my theory could help you to understand several exotic phenomena
not understood yet. If you have interest in reading my papers, I would
be glad of sending you the following three of them:
1) FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROPOSAL OF A NEW HYDROGEN ATOM,
where the new hydrogen model of atom is proposed.
2) MECHANISM OF SELECTION RULE- where are explained some questions not
answered in the paper above.
3) MECHANISM FOR PAULI'S EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE- where it is shown the
mechanism for the diamagnetism of the nitrogen molecule
I think that you have nothing to lose by reading my papers. First of
all because, if after reading them you conclude that they cannot bring
any help to your understanding of the nano phenomena, you can simply to
forget them.
But if you conclude that my papers have proposals that can help you to
elucidate some fundamental problems risen from the development of the
nanotechnology, that would very interesting for the advancement of your
work.

I came across the book, Disciplined Minds by Jeff Schmidt. He writes
about the true purpose of education, and that is to confer idealogy.
The techniques or skills are secondary. Schmidt says that the only way
to counteract the idealogy of the institution is to organize with
others, anchoring yourself with a radical agenda.
This would not be such a big deal, except for the fact that is strikes
at the heart of democracy, and we can not seem to control our country's
foreign policy. If the output of our very best educational
institutions is subservient professionals then that goes a long way in
explaining our current predicaments.

I like discussing things freely, but there's not exactly a lot of

You are not an independent thinker just because you're stubborn. You

Students make the classroom work. I have never been in a class that
students were not allowed to talk in or participate in the discussions.
Even heady lecturers leave time for questions.
And looking around this forum, it seems you call for censorship and for
political indoctrination far more than those who go into the classroom.
I don't know what all the ins and outs of the most recent dispute you

I see your post in response. You seem to be in favor of stopping people
from speaking when you find them annoying, yet you claim your actions
are better than our school system? Please.
But the part that I find really funny is your statement that these

I don't care where you went or who you are, I just want to be reassured
that you have an idea what you are talking about when it comes to

my teacher's credentials before they started speaking.
You are my best point. Your posts are ridiculous drivel, and wouldn't stand up to simple scrutiny in the classroom, not because the classroom censors content (it invites questions on every level from my experience), but because the resulting conversation would blow your arguments out of the water.

The internet offers one avenue. I like it because we rely less on a
person's credentials as we make up our mind about a subject. The
arguments begin to gain in importance. To use the allegory of
evolution, survival depends less on symbolic authority and more on
rational logic. Consequently, the probability at arriving at a
mutually agreeable solution increases.
Paradoxically, it does not appear that independent thinking can be
accomplished independently of other people. The individual does not
have a chance against the powers of a heirarchial system. Independence
of thought appears to be the exception rather than the rule. So a
non-heirarchial (democratic) organization is necessary to counteract
authority. That is a tough one, isn't it. I don't think humans are
very good at that. One reason may be that from our earliest days of
training, we have been immersed in an environment skewed toward
authority.
It is you who have charged me with being involved in the education
process or being a politician. It is you who have made some rather
ridiculous assumptions about who I am or how my occupation might
influence my opinion. You say a lot about me, seeing as you don't know
anything about me.
I do not care who you are. All I ask for is reassurance that the guy
who keeps proposing ideas for educational reform has experience with
education. That's all.
You've said a few things which make me think you've never been to
university, so I want to know if you did. Not where, but if.
And I will say this. In none of my classes was I treated the way you've
treated me. I was respected as a person (every student was) and no one
ever called me names the way you have.
Your behavior makes me feel less confident that your conclusion that
these forums can replace education has any merit.
After all, we can't fire you or punish you for prejudice or rudeness,
the way teachers can be fired or punished.
So, kindly tell me if you went to university and if you were educated
in the public or private primary school system.

Ahem!
I would not contemplate who amongst sam and witt is right and who is wrong.. but dont you think that its getting kinda personal here..
Example is one of the greatest attributes of a good teacher whether on the internet or in the classroom.
The arrogance and condescension you exhibit in your posts would not be acceptable in a more structured learning environment
and, indeed, would be detrimental to the discipline essential for real learning.
In the classroom you would be required to answer questions posed by the 'learners' and your inability to provide straight forward answers to even simple questions would reveal your demagoguery. Stop hiding behind your computer desk.
Explain in a general manner how a schooling system, free of any government control, would operate to ensure that the poorest and least educated members of our communities are not left behind. If you are unable to do so, then I can only conclude that you are an elitist.
Now given that we see what we our a product of, it seems to me that we
need to figure out how to counteract our lengthy indoctrination.
Talking about the system is the first step. Somehow, I don't think
that will change much.
I mean I can maintain lip service to an idea, and then go right into my
daily life behaving completely differently. That is the beauty of the
education we received. It maintains the system because it trains
people to split their behavior depending on the context. It is
training to be deeply hypocritical. 99% of our fellow citizens will
consistenly identify with the institution that they work for, and the
1% is spread out all over the country without a chance to be organized.
So the next step is to decide where you will take a stand, and do not
let the institutions bully you into doing something that is not
ethical.

Pulleeeze! Continued rants about problems in the current system is
non-responsive!

Again you hide behind rantings in order to avoid aswering a simple question. Your repeated presentation of what is wrong with the current educational system is not at all constructive and seems to demonstrate that you only get satisfaction from tearing things down. Surely you recognize that there is infinitely more satisfaction in creating things?
Give it a try by using the internet to describe what you would
substitute for post-primary school math. Are you advocating streaming of students into trade schools or a return to the old apprentice system?
All these schemes now becomes exposed. Education is getting a shake-up that is long-overdue. Scientists are taken and shaken off their self-erected pedestal and they are now finally exposed for their role in the cartel that is made up by education and the industrial-military complex.
You claim superiority for the internet over government schools for
developing 'independent minds'. Well get to it. Stop posting your
infinite 'digress' into the evils of government-controlled schooling
and provide a general outline of your alternative system. This will
enable a rational discussion with the possibility of reaching some sort of understanding. For example, I agree that compulsory schooling for all students thru 12th grade is ridiculous and that training in work/study programs would really benefit many who are not academically inclined. C,mon Sam let's have something positive!
:'You talk the talk to some extent, zinnic, but how far will you walk

develop their talents without indoctrination by the bureaucrats, the
socialists, the corrupt politicians and the priests who all feed on the
system and who are out to make children conform with the very system

Without the basic research of universities, much of what you take for granted could not have been developed by your"companies".
Give me an example of a "company" that conducts in house basic
research iin which they see no future profit.
Do you think that "companies" initiated investigations in molecular
biology? In information science? Of course not. They jumped on the bandwagon only after academic research revealed the possibility of profitable developments. These for-profit companies never fully repay the debt they owe to our education system.
You are SO anti-university.
Does your hate encompass the Art, Language and Humanities departments?
Are you a disgruntled student/professor terminated because the quality

And how much of this university research do you read, anyway?
And how many "epistemologists" do you know personally? You seem to have

you have any experience with faculty in that area?
Did you even go to university? If so, what kind?
You are so ridiculous.
Schools that receive public funding are answerable to their state legislatures.
In addition, there are tons of federal regulations dictating how federal money can and can't be used.
And why did you switch from talking about the universities to primary
school? Can't you stay on topic?
Pardon me. "Your arguments are so ridiculous." Is that better?

Control freaks hurt everyone, including themselves (from an article by
Lisa Irizarry).
How to spot a control freak:
Picky and critical.
Always needs to be right.
Tells you who you are and what you think.
Implies that you're wrong or inadequate when you don't agree.
FEELS ATTACKED WHEN QUESTIONED.
Does'nt seem to really see or hear you.
Hangs on to a project forever.
Feels most comfortable when in charge.
Winning an argument is more important than finding the best solution.
Not getting what he or she wants is met with anger.
Sam--You score 10/10. I award you an A++ as a control freak.
I really do think home schooling is worth the investment (mainly time)

Do you agree that parents DO NOT have the right to DENY their children

Again, let me ask you- if parents are illiterate and too poor to pay

You are not exposing anything; you are asserting everything!

Let's be honest, zinnic, and recognize control freaks when we spot

the education system is full of control reaks who seek ever more

I recognize that some homeschoolers may also be control freaks.

My step daughter home schooled all three of her children - and did an
excellent job. The state (Missouri) requires the kids to take annual
tests to see if they are keeping up. There definitely is no law
against home schooling.

Wow, that sounds like a lawyer who constructed a sentence in order to
trap
people into signing the opposite of what they wanted, zinnic. Whatever
you're trying to say, zinnic, government isn't the best way to get
there.
Sam, there is no trap in my question. I believe that , through one
means or another, ALL children must be provided a basic education in
order that they become 'employable' and capable of advancing themselves
in society.
If parents are allowed to neglect this duty, their children will
become extremely disruptive to society. If government is not to take
responsibility, then what agency will, and how do you propose that it
will be funded? Surely I, and the other members of this group, deserve
an answer from you?
You are subjected to many questions because you advocate drastic
changes that IMO will create far more problems than they solve. I have
seen no "personal attacks, insults, hate messages, offensive language
....etc" in posts to this group that could possibly justify your call
for "closer moderation" and for you (if given a measure of control) to
"feel compelled to stop such personal attacks before they degenerate
the enjoyment of this group for other members".
It is all in your mind Sam. You are the one who keeps referring to
sabotage, governmental brainwashing, agendas etc. You stated previously
that to question your assertions is "questionable" and now it is
apparent that you take any question as a "personal attack".
I agree that "Messages posted to this group should be about
epistemology." Again, you are the one who keeps raising the politics of
free enterprise, homeschooling and the evils of governmental control.
Epistemology involves the discussion and explanation of the scope,
limits and justification of something being known.
Would you start by "explaining" your justification for knowing
(believing) that an unregulated "free enterprise system" will lead to a
"prosperous society" in which Education will be the "least of our
worries". And, presumably, EVERYONE will reach their full potential.

Sam, you really are about the most unrealistic person I have ever dealt
with. Not to mention paranoid. The education system has serious
problems. The military has serious problems. But your approach is
like throwing out the baby with the wash. You simply have not made a
case for rejecting our present system for a vague and unspecified
alternative.
Dave
just saying
PROVIDED there is not a double standard, home schooled kids should provide a FAVORABLE comparison to public schooled kids, and proving this on a level playing field such as a standardized test should be considered an opportunity to vindicate the descision to home school
The education system has serious problems. The military has serious problems. But your approach is like throwing out the baby with the wash. You simply have not made a case for rejecting our present system for a vague and unspecified alternative.
Yes! Schools are doing a better job of educatiog children whose
parents are incapable (unqualified) of home schooling. Or is it your
position that no schooling is better than your alleged brainwashing by
the state?
Surely you are the one saying that schools must be prohibited? Unlike
you, I would not suggest that anything that is not ideal (perfect)
should be destroyed!
Enter any 'home' where children are neither homeschooled or encouraged
to attend state school and you will not see "well behaved and civilized
people". However, enter homes in which parents our only hope for the
future of a fair and equitable society.
What are we to do with the children of "parents who dont like to spend
much time [or no time] on the education of their children"? If there is
no free state school are they going to be motivated to send their
children to "inexpensive" private schools ?
Government appears unable or unwilling to take the responsibility. As
said,
I see many kids leaving school functionally illiterate and
unemployable.
Should parents thus stop delegating responsibility to school? Is that
what
you're saying?
The system must be improved not destroyed. That is what I am saying.
As I said numerous times, parents have the first rights to decide what
education their children get.
So then I ask again. Do you believe that parents have the right to
deny an education to their children. This a straight forward question
that deserves a straight forward answer .
I know very well that there are problems, and I do advocate changes in
our 'schooling' system. You demand the total eradication of a proven
system that has advanced science and scholarship in the western world
for 1500 years, and advocate its replacement by a cottage industry
involving homeschooling, tutors and apprenticeships, with reliance
on "big business' to conduct any and all research for the benefit of
society.
Governments all over the world are saying what! That they should have
no control over education in their country? Give me one example or, if
you cannot, retract that statement!
Sam Carana wrote:

Gee, I guess I must be stupid. As far as I can see, you have not made
a case for any of your proposals at all.
Dave
The studies are skewed and not significant because the home schooling
parents are more educated and more conscientious than the general
population. If home schooling were universal, most kids would get
little or no education. This would be especially true if there were no
objective tests required to see who was doing it and who wasn't.
Sam said:
Are schools doing this? Are schools doing a better job than
homeschoolers? If you make this claim, then please back it up with some references, zinnic, because I see many kids leaving school functionally illiterate and unemployable. Are you saying that school must therefore be prohibited, because of the ones that appear to have failed?
Yes! ..

And do you believe that "splitting up a monopoly " is not a regulation of that monopopoly? To my knowledge, the only agency that has ever split up a monpoly is the govrnment! So after all you have said, you now support governmental intervention? Or how else would you split up a monoply?

He has you, Sam! You say all these things should be changed, yet give
no mechanism for implementing the changes. As the conversation has
proceeded, you have made more twists and turns than any snake, trying
to support your untenable position. More and more you look like a fool
who is too stupid to admit his idiocy.
I found Sam's messiah:
FRIEDMAN NIGHT By William F. Buckley Jr.
Fri Jun 24, 8:05 PM ET
The other night in New York there was a great money-raising party in
honor of Milton and Rose Friedman. Those present were true believers,
and Milton Friedman is their nativity. That is true in a general sense,
since he is the author of definitive studies of the monetary system,
and is the American fons et origo of libertarian enterprise. He
received a Nobel Prize, endowed the University of Chicago and then the
Hoover Institution with his afflatus, and promises his disciples to
live forever, along with his brilliant and decorative wife, Rose. He
has made a flying start on this guarantee since he is 93 years old, and
he and Rose have been married for 67 years.
The Friedman Foundation, which was the evening's beneficiary, is
devoted to advancing the prospects of school choice. This is a very
live movement, born 50 years ago in an essay on the subject by Milton
Friedman. There are school-choice programs of various kinds ongoing in
several states, briefly described in the literature distributed at the
hotel along with the meal (it would have been tempting to write, in
lieu of a meal). The beneficiaries of school choice would include
students who use the voucher; students who remain in government schools
(these would improve on facing competition); employers (who would find
literate graduates applying for jobs); educational entrepreneurs (who
would invest in new and innovative schooling); and taxpayers --
inasmuch as school choice would bring reduced expenses.
The evening was star-studded. We had a tape of Alan Greenspan, who
hailed Friedman's work even as, later in the evening, Friedman would
hail the work of Alan Greenspan. George Shultz was on screen to name
Friedman the single most important human being of our time, a tribute
that ended in song. Henry Kissinger was physically present and gave a
brief glowing talk about the importance of Friedman as an international
symbol.
There came then, moderated by ABC's John Stossel, questions and
answers.
Here Milton Friedman says some things that require faith. He compares
the performance of Catholic schools and public schools in New York
City. The Catholic schools (only one-half of whose students are
Catholic) cost half as much per student as the public schools and send
almost twice as many graduates on to college.
Moreover -- a point very dear to Milton's heart -- the very act of
submitting to public schooling tames young spirits to associate public
enterprises with correct social enterprise. It is a contaminating
experience, he holds -- a breeding ground of budget allocations by
political bodies, submission to cartels of union-bound teachers, and a
spiritual acclimation to a norm which, far from being competitive,
encourages the kind of mediocrity that is associated with corporate
goals set by remote agencies.
On nothing are the Friedmans more emphatic than that school choice
would help poorer students. Competition inevitably encourages quality,
and students who are free to opt for alternative schooling would flock
to do so, as they have done in experiments in Chicago and Milwaukee,
and are expected to do in Arizona and Utah. Non-Catholic blacks fight
to get their children accepted in Catholic schools in Chicago, where a
premium is placed on work and on reading and writing. The principal
opponents of change are the same unions that Gov. Schwarzenegger is
fighting with in California, seeking to maintain their hold on the
teachers' victims -- the students.
Rose and Milton Friedman have committed their entire estate to their
foundation, which currently lists assets of more than $4 million.
Everything Milton touches has the feel of his optimism, and Wednesday's
event was no exception. Dinner chairman Charles Brunie announced that
the dinner had generated $993,000 in contributions. Whereupon a guest
raised his hand and said, "Count me in for $7,000," making it a
million-dollar affair.
But "ever less regulation" will not continue. There will always be a
requirement for some regulation in spite of your lack of support "in
principle".
Companies that dominate a certain sector of the market will split up by
themselves.
And voluntarily give up the profits they are reaping? Sam-what Planet
do you live on?
>From the perspective of investors, monopolies and mergers often don't
make sense but it's government regulations that make it hard for them
to do otherwise.
And on your Planet up is down, and government regulations force
businesses to merge into monopolies?
Investors in unregulated areas will not want their business to be a
monopoly, because it makes more sense to split things up.
Do "investors" on your planet believe that" it makes more sense to
split things up" so that they can decrease their own dividends?.
Sam,- on my Planet, human nature is so different!
sam- you again raise the urgent need to split up the military. I feel
unable to discuss this issue because I honestly do not have the
faintest idea what you are proposing. The military (national defence
forces as opposed to home security) is already split into the Airforce, Army, Navy and Marines.
How could these arms of our defense be furthur split, ...
and how do you propose that they compete with each other ....
...to make National defence more efficient?
Are you using the word 'military' to encompass the whole
political/military/industrial complex? If so , then that is a different
matter and well worthy of discussion.
Splitting up government operations does indeed imply political
decisions. That doesn't imply I supported government regulation in principle. It's just a change of the already existing regulation that I advocate, leading to ever less regulation.
But "ever less regulation" will not continue. There will always be a
requirement for some regulation in spite of your lack of support "in

For things to go OK, regulation is necessary.
Regulation is the best solution.
Splitting up will result in less financial benefits for investors.
Government prevents monopolies by issuing licenses for competitors to
operate.
It is in investors own financial interest to support a monopoly for
their own businesses (but not for other businesses).
These, together with your assertions, represent a childish "tis so,
tis'nt so" altercation that neither informs nor advances a discussion
of Government regulation.
Government is a monopoly? What is it you want? Two Governments with
competing Military, Senates, Houses of Representatives and Executive
branches?
I presume that you do not go so far as to advocate NO Government.
I suspect you support only a Government that will grant you, and a few
others, the freedom to act as YOU see fit, whilst denying others the
freedom to do whatever YOU deem unfit.
Sam, your posts burgeon with the intolerance and the self-righteousness
that I usually expect from a religious crusader! (BTW, do you interpret
this critiscm as "foul language"?)
Sam, I am disparaging your assertions! Your manner of throwing out generalities as if they are cogent facts simply frustrates me. Let me 'answer' your last post with some equally invalid general assertions .

You advocate a structural change that will de-monopolize Government.
Describe one change whereby 'competition' would improve the efficiency
of the Military's role in national defence.
Don't try to cloud the issue with "Security services, grocery shops and
fast food outlets". Even you must concede that they are conspicuously
irrelevant to your claim that the Military and the National Government
be 'de-monopolized'.
Sam, you are so thin-skinned ! Do you find it hot in the kitchen?

Sam is a nut case. I have had more lucid conversations with a parrot.
He keeps repeating the same generalizations and gets miffed if one asks
for detailed proposals. If he wants to turn things upside down, it is
up to him to show this is to be done in detail. He will not do that
because he has no idea how to implement his silly nonsense. So he
repeats it... and repeats it...

I, for one, am waiting for Sam to flesh out his ephemeral ideas so that
we have the opportunity to evaluate his proposals, if he has any. I am
both a retired Navy officer and an engineer. I think I have the
ability to make worthwhile comments on actual proposals for change.
But, no proposals have been made. Sam says I want everything to remain
as it is. Apparently he thinks there are only two possibilities: Do
things his way (whatever that is) or keep the status quo. Actually,
the possibilities are endless. So, I call on him to tell us how his
ideas would be implemented or to admit he really has no ideas at all.
Don't abandon me, Zinnic! I need a frame of reference in dealing with
