Now this extends to all aspects of education in all topic areas and grade levels through college. Why is that? When we permit arrogance to dominate curriculum decisions and start implanting one set of opinions or another, we have undercut not only the educational value for the children but our own country’s economic well being. All so one group get their values pushed and promoted while the

Okay, I’ve debated enough on whether or not to post this so here it is. Back on June 28 of this year, the AP reported of a bit of unpleasantness that happened in Winfield, Missouri. The joyous flood waters Wisconsin and other states got pounded with had made its way down the Mississippi to the Missouri region. There they valiantly struggled to support a levee with sandbags. There work was

If any website wants to post news and be considered credible, it falls upon them to have the wisdom to determine what news is and what an editorial is. To know the difference, it requires those in charge to know the basics about a subject like that of science. You need to know what science is and is not at the very basic level. If a website such as Yahoo cannot do so, then they deserve to be

There comes a time in nearly everyone’s life where they need to prepare to move on to a different vocation of choice in this world. This blog serves its purpose in giving my point of view into this world. In time though all good things come to an end, but today is not the day for this blog.

Rarely do I like to comment on politics as it usually boils down to which set of lies or colored truth you prefer. For the record, I am an independent who does not care for either Obama or McCain for a variety of reasons that I will keep to myself. However there are times when a politician or devoted person to either one side or the other makes a passionate statement that leaves a person

There are times in your life as a father and a husband where it becomes your duty to make certain your daughter is wrapped up in the best cloth you can find. Later on as life progresses, your children get to wrap you up to help keep you warm and in good spirits. Is this all about diapers? Nah, I am talking about nap time. You or your child(ren) lay down on the couch or on top of the bed to

Whenever a blogger adds an entry to their blog, the term is called posting. The past tense of that word is posted. An example of that is “Yes dear, I posted that article already.” Now this entry is about the word “posted” but in a different sense. And yes, this is an Are You Thinking? award as well. Now how do those two things blend together? Well, we have to throw in the Green Bay

All of this will be true even though it sounds a tad on the fictional side. As the saying goes, sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Anyone who is relegated to working from home due to injury tries to find method of increasing the income generation potential. Let’s face it, the options are not that great yet for at-home work but they are growing. However, that knowledge is also

I had attended a college that is strong in the engineering field. When you go through the Physics classes, the calculus classes and more you realize very quickly just how bound the hard sciences are to math. In engineering, either you do the calculations correctly or someone could get killed either during the construction or afterwards. So when you are talking about steel buildings, you need

As I have written before, my view on relationships, especially on marriage, is they are all about your level of trust, understanding, and communication. To have a successful marriage, all three need to be at their peak. This does not come naturally but it requires work to create and maintain. The initial puppy love or infatuation phase far too many mistake as being “in love” doesn’t

Outside of dogs and sometimes cats taking advantage of the continually fresh water, toilets are all for humans right? That would be correct but that isn’t the primary point in this article. It is a bit more along the lines of how a human is like a toilet in a way. A toilet receives a lot of liquid waste and solid stuff that if it cannot remove it correctly will clog up the pipes causing a

Yes, this is true. The donkey, the symbol of the Democrat party, is in lock up. No amount of braying at the guards will help spring the burro from the pen. It will be staring from behind the bars for its evil deeds for some time to come. For some unreported reason, the cousin of a horse became enraged and attacked to men.

The State of Wisconsin is known for a few things nationwide and worldwide. We are known for our cheese (in particular our squeaky cheese curds), beer drinking amounts, wild ranging weather, and wearing and being Cheese Heads for the Green Bay Packers. For those who routinely chug the brew, they may develop the beer gut and sometimes eat enough brats and drink enough beer to get to the obese

How do those three topics merge together? Well, they merge together more often than one might think. One of the greatest needs of standard businesses is employees who have the capabilities to follow extensive requirements accurately to produce a high quality product. What is not needed are employees incapable of solid science skills, poor mathematic abilities and independent minds that do

Like I have always stated, it is time to prove it. Eugenie Scott is not only the Executive Director of NCSE but is also a public signer of the Humanist Manifesto III. So a person who is running a “neutral” agency that influences the science curriculum of the 50 states and is a signatory of the Humanist Manifesto will not permit her philosophy to dictate the direction of the NCSE?

One of the fields the public school system is derelict on is fiscal responsibility education. True, the public schools are bogged down with meeting test requirements but that isn’t an excuse. Another quandary is who in the school would teach it as many teachers weren’t taught or did not practice individual fiscal responsibility themselves. It definitely isn’t a required course for any

No matter the statements made about how the public school system is neutral on the topic of religion it amounts to little more than a public relations spin. To proclaim such a standard is pushing a blatant falsehood or con game on the population. I will be blunt in my statement. There is no neutral group or individual that includes humans in its numbers. Each person brings their own set

Can fresh unfossilized dinosaur bones be found outside of Alaska and other frozen areas? We only need to look to Montana for our answer. Way back in 1990 Mary Schweitzer found dried blood cells in unfossilized T. rex bones. Blood cannot last more than a few thousand years at best. Of course, honestly reporting observations carried with it the price of losing her job. We can also look to the

Revisiting the topic of Origins of Life, I’ll lay it out at the basic core level. Real science operates on the scientific method and requires proof before a hypothesis is given credibility. On the topic of Origins, proof is impossible to attain as we obviously weren’t there to witness it. However, you will have many different sides claiming they “know” the unrecorded past and must be right. Like

When a person steps back and takes a look at the current world in the timeline of history, the major focus on drugs and the pharmaceuticals of today is just a speck of time. Obviously, various forms of medical care existed long before the chemical drugs did so it makes sense to try to understand and incorporate the medical knowledge of the past.

This past weekend brought us the NFL Draft and all of the other events of the weekend.

Why does it matter? Math and science are closely linked. If we teach in mathematics that the candle example has insufficient information (true); but, teach you can assume information in Science on the same thing (false), all we have accomplished is confusing students. A confused student loses interest in a topic by either deeming the teachers don’t know what they are talking about or swiftly
