Education, ultraband,

& the End of Militarism

Education does not make you a better person – it makes you a luckier person.

Let me remind this conversation again that by education, I do not mean trade schools like law school or med school or plumber school, however fancy or fortunate. I mean a broad and rigorous exposure to the fruits of civilization that could increase your appreciation for individual differences.
 
Great education is like putting a permanent IV in your arm renewing you with a plasma of fascination, with an ignited enthusiasm. Great education doesn’t teach you anything except how to learn, an earnest deftness of mind and heart which you can apply to the electric present. It’s splendid and lucky to be confidently curious all the time.

I wrote the following in response to a Justice Week article on chancelucky who has kindly taken up my cause of saying pro-peace rather than anti-war. Then I added some somersaults for us here at the pogblog bbq.  Chancelucky and me both bleed education.

The reasons for the icepicks & the guillotines are to wake the slumbering and to give energy to the activists. So rage has its uses. (The demand for civility from the BunkerBusting Bomb Crowd is a pretty hollow joke. Death &/or mutilation by one's own hand or by proxy are the ultimate rudenesses which cannot be trumped by caterwauling however vehemently crude.)

However, I entirely agree that the pro-peace movement needs to focus on a few key necessities for freedom. 

A reminder of the notion of a progressive message before we mosey on. You'll get tired of the number of ways I put the following Agenda List, but that's what Staying On Message is about. I recommend that we embrace(& therefore defuse) their Talking Points' derisive description and say, “Yep, that pesky Far Looney Left Extremist Agenda is universal healthcare; a superb, public K-College education for every child; a treasured and revered environment; a robust living wage; and nationwide free wireless internet ultra-broadband.” If you generally agree, then you need to memorize these and blurt them out to friend and foe at every opportunity. The acronym for Far Looney Left Extremist Agenda is FLLEA – amusing, therefore easy to remember. Pogblog commentator yogaartnat submitted the elegant Happy Elephants Embracing With Burros as a mnemonic device to remember the Far Looney Left Extremist Agenda Talking Points – Healthcare, Education, Environment, Wages, Broadband.

If *I* had to put all my eggs in one basket, it'd be the fabulous education for every person. I wrote a Fable called Justice & Education which demonstrates conclusively that you could gloriously educate everyone and still get all the grotty jobs shared out.

We should immediately begin to shift the Military Industrial Complex to the Educational Indusrial Complex, — $820,000 per minute (Military Budget not counting Iraq which is another $200,000 per minute) should allow us to shift the greatest, most ingenious and demonstrable excellences of any private and public educations to every hamlet — all connected by ultrabroadband or ultraband.
 
If we set our complete national will to this, we could begin to export our education design modules and ignite a national firestorm of invention and creativity in five or ten years.    

This pro-peace plan needs the vision for construction and collaboration that the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />Manhattan Project brought to destruction and competition.
