High percentage of children living in
poverty is good or bad?
High percentage of children living in
poverty is good or bad?
06/15/2004 06:19 PMWhile driving up here to Naples, Maine for some seaplane training I
listened to a lecture on political theory by Dennis Dalton, a
professor at Barnard. One interesting point was that
Aristotle did not approve of voting except by middle-class or
richer people. His theory was that a poor person is
likely to be illiterate and that, without having much property, won't
have any stake in stability.Thus if Aristotle were remaking
Iraq only perhaps 10 percent of the population would be
entitled to vote. In the U.S. maybe 80 percent of us would get
to vote (though of course only 40-some percent bother).
Dalton talked about how the U.S. illustrates all of the ills of
Capitalism predicted by Karl Marx. In particular Dalton cited
the percentage of children living in poverty here in the U.S. ("living
in poverty" means in a family whose income is less than the Federal
Poverty Level, a number determined by trying to figure out what the
minimum necessary income is for a normal American life).
If the quantity of children in the U.S. were fixed it seems obvious
that the higher the percentage of kids living in poverty the worse the
situation. But the quantity of children is not fixed.
People decide to have an extra child based on their perception of how
easy it will be to take care of an extra child.Perhaps a high
percentage of children living in poverty means that poor
people feel comfortable with (a) the level of government
support to be expected for that child (e.g., Medicaid, AFDC), and (b)
the ultimate career prospects for that child once grown up.
What would stop a Reagan-style optimist from saying "look at all
the children that our poor people are having, confident that their
future will be bright" and citing that as an example of what a
fantastic country this is for a poor family?

Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
09/20/2004 02:53 AMMy wife and I went to a work related party last night which turned
out to be pretty boring. So much for the $70.00 spent on tickets. We
left early and knew that the sitter was good to go decided to drop in
on a friend of hers.
We get to her house and I am admiring her house and see a big
Master Degree in Education hanging over her computer. I was surprised
to see it actually as we have known her for a while and she had never
mentioned it. Anyway to make a long story short she says hey my PC is
having problems can you look at it.
You guessed it 2 hours later and much under breath cursing I give
up and tell her I need to take it home or we can just pull the restore
disk out and start from scratch. I get this deer in the headlights
look when I explain that her computer has been hijacked and is
infected with nearly every piece of spyware known to man.
1. Virus Definitions 2 years old
2. She had never run Windows Update.
3. Systems is plugged directly into cable modem
4. No Spyware detection software
5. No Firewall
Remember now she has a Masters Degree in Education. She commented I
should open a business and fix peoples computers like hers. I guess my
21+ years working with advanced electronics now makes me qualified to
fix computers. I suppose I could charge her $750.00 for a days worth
of work. All I could do was smile and say drop it by the house and I
will get it fixed for you...
All my wife could say when we left was sorry. I hate stupid
educated people. Sometimes being a geek sucks.
