		<description><![CDATA[In case you missed it, you can analyze things quantitatively &amp; qualitatively. Many times people will back up their qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis. This is usually considered best. 
 
But people have been know to mess up both types of analysis &amp; to lie with both. 
 
Achates you area little known character and after we talk to you we do not know much more except that you are persistently wrong ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My wife is Chinese.  She speaks perfect English.  She does not have a law, accounting, medical or engineering degree. She has a degree in English. 
 
She makes 6 figures.  Of course she has had to pick up some more mathematics on the fly such as statistics.  Which is not to say she was mathematically challenged.  I was working thru problems for a correspondence course one day. the particular lesson was how to obtain a square root of a number without a calculator or table (how I learned).  Almost 2 decades after she left school she still knew how to do it.  
 
It is not genetics.  It is not genes; it is memes.  Who provides the memes that the poor live by?  The answer is the left.   That is one of major causes of poverty in the west. 
 
THE LEFT.

		<description><![CDATA[Over half the elected officials and polititions in the US are now just Welfare State Hustlers. And of course just like their counterparts in the Mafia they take a substantial cut of what they Rob from Peter to pay Paul. That is what this is all about not helping the lessfortunate but getting their cut and gaining power over people in the process -  just like the Mafia.

		<description><![CDATA[I send my child to public school in New York and in my district most of the schools have very poor scores.  The school I currently send my child to preK to, according to insideschools.org has scores in math and English of about 50.  Some of the other schools in my district have even worse scores such as 30 in English and Math.  Not so the dual language Shuang Wen school which teaches Chinese and English.  Their math score is 98.4% and their english score is 89.2.  That&#039;s incredible.  They teach two languages and blow us away in English let alone Math.  They have a different attitude than all the poorly performing schools in my district.  The progressive schools lower the bar so that everyone can progress at their own pace.  Shuang Wen holds up the bar very high and tells students they can get over it if they try hard enough and they do.  Guess who is going to be upwardly mobile students from the school my daughter attends or students from Shuang Wen? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The so-called social scientists are tainting the findings of their research with their ideological bias, and I suspect that many, if not most of them, are doing it intentionally. The Left never has had any use for science, especially when the truth it reveals undermines their alchemical quest of turning lies into power. 
 
Morality and virtue were necessarily things the Left had to smother in our culture. Sloth can&#039;t be blamed for one&#039;s failure. It has to be an oppressor that causes lazy, drug indulging louts to fail. ]]></description>
