Proffessional Essayist?

Of all the thousands of people who have written essays, how do some of them reach a point where they garner a huge following? How do some people have their opinions known to matter? I guess it has to do with proper connections, and a propensity to get the right people to read your stuff. Its probably not much different than how a certain music group gets noticed, just the right people read the writing, and the right person says to themselves “This person’s got it!”. What “it” is, is also one of the things I wonder about, what is the distinguishing factor? In regards as to what makes a writer stand out there are some things within their writing that I simply cannot distinguish from most common essayists, proper proofreading and syntax aside of course. Whether the arguments are original I believe can be ruled out as a distinguishing factor, as “original” is usually the same base ideas presented in different word combinations, granted that word compilations are multifaceted and incred...

A Continueance of Education

The modern education system is the most successful form of mass education in history. according to a psychology book, issued out by the mentioned system, the IQ of individuals is going up every generation since the inception of public education. This can be seen as it facilitates knowledge and gives incentive and the ability for one generation to support and better administer education to the next. The better educated generation better educates the next and so on. Even though the pattern of improved education principally should hold true, if the precept of that psychology book were true, however the obvious truth is that public education has been a constant disaster, particularly in the united states. The primary cause of the current disaster that is the underfunded, gang-ridden and sport-driven thing that consists the public education of the modern day. continuation later still. vernation: the arrangement of the foliage leaves within the bud. gastrojejunostomy: surgery.

My education

Public education is on the third or fourth rotation down a toilet-bowl cyclone right now. The prospect of education staying afloat for many more years without a complete remake of the institutions seems nearly impossible, as the cuts being made are only inch fillings of the one hundred foot hole that is the educational budget deficit in the great state of California. What I would like to explore, at least conceptually, as current hard research escapes me due to there being a library furlough day, is the possible structural causes of the current education deficit, and a comparison of state education against traditional means of education in the past. The state public education system is one of the few social programs to exist without much hubub about whether or not it should exist. Granted, it is relatively new, as public school, to my limited knowledge, are approximately one hundred and fifty years old. Before school was institutionalized as a requirement, all education had to com...

PAT's Calander sayings.

Hard play is as much work as hard work, sometimes more. Talking is just like speaking, only you need to wait your turn. If I could undo a remake, I'd blow up every new idea. The difference between a man and a boy is the size of his toys. Communism is a form of liberalism without the freedom or equality. Capitalism is a form of Communism after somebody wins. All Governments fall, all people die, and everything is always changing. People change but humanity doesn't. Tall people are like short people, only more expensive, noticeable, and they don't live as long. If Kingdom comes is queendom satisfied? The difference between a hammer and a nail is leverage. If you want to kill somebody, join the army; if you want to piss somebody off, do anything. If Adams had his way we'd be a monarchy, and as history is a good indicator, he'll be right. If your dumb, shut the hell up and it will make you seem smarter. If your intelligent you will know to shut the hell up for an opport...
