An ignorant conservative rant

I've selected a song.

I also learned a valuable lesson about reheating egg-drop soup: It doesn't really work.  Apparently, it maintains its gelatinous refrigerated form, having emulsified from the egg proteins.  Which means that heating it up in the microwave will only over-cook the egg and make it gross.  I ate it anyway.

In other news, I have more sympathy for the wall street protesters now that I've thought about it a little more.  Wall Street really did get a pretty sweet deal with that bailout.  Democrats look like hypocrites when they criticize trickle-down economic theory from one side of their mouth and yell "too big to fail!" from the other.  I'm sure the two situations are distinguishable, but there's at least a superficial irony.  Maybe society does depend on a clear income delineation between winners and losers.

If that's so, then we should stop worrying about creating jobs and instead invest everything into education, because it seems like that only thing that ever improves society is an increase in resources, which only comes about through research, discovery, development, and innovation.  Then again, the countries with the best test scores from their students aren't exactly setting the world on fire (What does scandinavia produce, anyway?).
