[Vision2020] Illegal Gardening -- Not!

[Robert Dickow]

I wonder if some of the confusion about the Sherman Anti-Trust Act had to do
with the general lack of enforcement/application of it until almost 2
decades later, during THEODORE Roosevelt's presidency. But of course
Theodore Roosevelt was busy fighting the Civil War, so it is perfectly
understandable why he would have wanted to enforce the Sherman Act at that
point.   ;-)

Bob,

 

NOW, if there is a campaign to get the little buggers into school for
SATURDAYS, I'm all in favor of it!

 

Some examples of what I've run into trying to teach business law (mostly
sophmores) at the University this semester:

 

1) How could President Roosevelt  be concerned with "anti-trust legislation
(we were discussing the era of the Sherman anti-trust act), when he was
trying to fight WW2"?

 

2) Once the US Congress passed the "Declaration of Independence" we had all
the laws we needed!

 

3) Trying to convince the little geniuses that before a will can take
effect, you have to DIE!

 

 

And those are just the most  outlandish ones!!!!   I also ran into issues
trying to convince the knot heads that there are 50 states, PLUS the
District of Columbia (which isn't a state!), plus all the other little bits
of real estate that "we" own like Puerto Rica, Guam, and several other
specks all over the world!  I am convince that neither  history nor
geography are taught any more!

 

 

I seriously think that, especially at the HS level, school should run 6 days
a week,  7 to 4.  They can have 2 weeks at Christmas (Winter break) 2 weeks
at Easter (Spring break to be politically correct) and 3 weeks during the
summer.    I'm sure the HS teachers would gripe, the parents would gripe,
but for God sake it would actually give the kids a shot at GRADUATING from
College if they can't play football!
