The Cartel
I don't understand how someone can defend bad teachers or the system that allows them to stay employed. A Voucher system is the way to go. What are Vouchers? Basically instead of public (tax) money being attached to the school. The public (tax) money is attach to the student. Which mean when you move your child to a different school the funds follow him/her. This has been done in many European school systems for years. It is a logical and better system for all involved, that is except teacher unions and the administrations that syphon off money from children's educations.

OWS LEADER
If I was the leader of the Occupy Wall Street movement. I would ask for new laws or reforms of old laws that are agaist corruption of politicians and institions.
I believe what protestors truly want is an end to corruption and irresponsibility by our society as a whole. I believe what they want is change, change that has been talked about but not implemented. The world is changing technologically and socially. Everyone knows it but the society as a whole doesn't seem to be moving forward. Progress. Progress is what we seek. The promise that our potential holds, the advancements we know of but don't come to fruition. We want that Progress, that world, that America.
I intend to write reasons for each of these statements but for now I thought I'll put them out there.
These statements aren't written in any order or importance.
1. Corporations do not have more legal rights or standing before the law then natural citizens. Corporation are not equal to a natural citizen before the law.
2. Money is not voice.
3. GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. Only natural persons should and must be able to donate money to campaigns.
a.Congressmen only receive money from the natural citizens of their district.
-Money from others that live in their state would be limited based on what the average person can afford living in that congressmen's district.
-Money from out of the state would be a one-fourth of the amount that those from the native state can afford to contribute.
b.Senators only receive money from the natural citizens of their state.
-Money from outside of the state would be one-tenth that what the average person from the native state can afford to contribute.
c. The President is the only branch that is acceptable to receive sizable donation nationwide from all natural citizens.
d.No foreign money in campaigns from individuals or companies. This include illegal immigrants.
3.Regulations/laws should only be made with the intention of the common well being of all natural citizens.
4.More resources to Regulate the banking sector, pharmecutical companies, food production, and all industries that affect the common well being.
5.More resources to cleaning old polluton sites and regulating the enviromental damage being done by companies now. Companies must take responsible for the proper destruction of waste. Companies must take responsibility for past waste and pollution.
6.Bottle/plastic recycling in every state.
7.No more off the book wars. Lower the defense budget (by a third).
8.Free Healthcare for all citizens.
9.Lower or absolve all student loans interest or debt.
10.Massive Criminal Inquiries into all to big to fail banks. And politicians connected to them for criminal misconduct.
11.Stop foreclosure on homes that were given based on predatory lending. On homes that the banks in question can't produce their own paperwork of ownership.
12.Make any financial incentive given to politicians illegal. Ex. giving IPO stocks, offering jobs after service if they place favoring legislation, etc.
12.Independent bodies with the sole purpose to seek and judicate corruption in politics.

15.Amen constitution that all citizens have the right to vote and that all voting shall be held on three day weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday).
16.All politicians can be recalled if believed they are not acting on behalf of the common good for their constituents. If they are believed to be or have proven to be corrupt or been corrupted. Or are acting on behalf of any other than the natural citizens they represent or country as a whole.

21.Change Usury laws to protect the citizens (consumers).
22.Corporations, lobbist can not write legislation. Only legislators.
23.A Technocratic branch of governement (or at least a independent permanent committe) to write laws and protocols dealing with science, engineering, environment, etc.
24.Industries should not be trusted to regulate themselves. If Corporation makes goods or items that can do physical (including medical) harm in the short or long term view they may not regulate themselves. Ex. pollution, chemicals, sanitation waste, etc.

Mechanical Animals - TED
This I found weird yet very facinating. All I could think of was using these "animals" as beast of burden. They could be used to move things by the military, construction, emergencies during disaster or individual necessities.
SixSenth interface - TED
This is cool. I want my augmented reality devices.
More possible uses of SixSenth.
More possible uses of SixSenth.
Robot that fles like a bird. - TED
This is very cool. The people of FESTO do some interesting things.
