The Very Useful Idiocy of Christine O’Donnell
O’Donnell’s timely ascent in the election season’s final lap may well prove a godsend for the G.O.P. She is leading the charge into the failed past from the front. This is called a retreat. -

Right-Turn Signal: Privatizing Our Way Out of Traffic
Edward L. Glaeser is an economics professor at Harvard.
If you start with a lie and continue stacking lie on lie do not expect to find a truth at the end of the process.The Autobiography of Ben Franklin speaks of those private roads in the early bits. it took weeks to travel from Boston to Philadelphia. The mail service built some of the first through roads, Post Roads. The Rails Have depended on public subsidy from the start. The Erie Canal was a state project. The roads in the north of NY were the military roads. Those Private airports were grass fields, cow pastures. The first purpose built airfields were military from 1914-1918, Again the Post Office Subsidised airmail. This paid the bills for commercial aviation. LaGuardia was the first international airport. Subsidized by the city of New York.The Vanderbilt Motor Parkway Was built privately in ~1910 It was unique in this country until the federal highway program in 1918. These roads are paved and bear US numbers. Limited access roads really began with Robert Moses in about 1930.Congestion pricing will work but does not require the private sector.What we need in the cities are trolley cars. GM killed those to sell buses.

Third Party Rising
There’s a revolution brewing in the country. Could a third party be coming to challenge the Democrats and Republicans in 2012?( http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/03/roman-projections/ )Why does thomas Friedman want to do the very difficult? If we free the Democrats from the Republican filibusters and other machinations the result will be much better than it has been. Perhaps it will be good enough.If it is not, there will be another election to push it closer to what is desired. -

Does the Digital Classroom Enfeeble the Mind?
If machines are to improve teaching, we must recognize their limits — and our own capacity for magic.This is nice poetry but a bit hard to apply. As he says, it takes care and effort. You know that a working engineer in the American idiom spends a great deal of time teaching technique to workers. Having the class solve the design problems of a space ship will teach them to calculate.Another problem of education is to teach composition. Cut and paste does not teach it. Writing from recent reading or from notes does teach it. Spell check will see to the scolding.
