So you think helping to educate a few youths is all for naught until the system is fixed? Interesting.

Oh well I guess we should all sit on the sidelines and wait for a Messiah to come down from the mountains on a white horse.

Oh I see...yew are not a "martyr" fi peeple who don't care about demself.... hmmm

What yew are is a Monumental Hypocrite and a Shallow Windbag ... full of sound and fury but signifying nothing

Begone.. further discourse with yew is an exercise in waste management. Not a specialty of mine

But have a nice day

It is amusing how Jawge find it so easy to excuse himself from any role in the process.

In the 21st century one can make contributions without giving up thier career or place of residence. For someone who likes to spout about the "soon-coming info age" I would have thought you would have recognized that.

Let me give you a simple example that I am now working on: the Gleaner has its archives online and charges about $50 a year for access. Yet I recently found out that my school library does not have access to these archives. I suspect that quite a few schools could be in this position.

Now maybe you consider $50 a year martyrdom but i do not. Having access will not change the world but it will certainly increase the information available to some students who might want it and do not currently have it.

There are countless examples of small things that can be done to help kids who WANT to learn. But if you prefer to stay on the sidelines and shout about how much you know then so be it.

Dead Wid Laugh.

There is also DWRCL.

[Assasin]

you a preach social contract from when. It is only fair that you comment on Portia's "social contract", isn't it???? .

I assume I wouldn't have to do much to get your attention on that topic.
