• Steps in the right direction...
  I like this approach but still prefer a printed copy of the voter's choices that need to be visually approved by the voter before leaving the booth. These printed copies can then be used in a recount and for an audit/check of the electronic results. All electronic (with no paper trail) systems could be tampered with such that they report one set of votes to the person entering the code to check their votes, and another to the the tabulation routine.

• Apology...
  I was misled by your first paragraph - I now understand that you agree good teachers need better pay as well.
  
  I stick by the rest of my comments though about our nations priorities as a whole being wrong.

• If teach such a luxuriant job...
  I imagine you must be going for the high pay and easy working conditions and planning to switch careers to being a teacher?
  
  Real problem is that the US is no longer an advanced nation. We are to busy waiting for the money to trickle down as we run up record deficits rather than invest in our shared physical and intellectual infrastructure.
  
  When a country institutes record tax cuts at a time of 'War' and passes the cost off to future generations of Americans at the same time it lowers wages for high-skill jobs by shipping them overseas. Engineering schools are having a hard time attracting students when you tell them they can't party like the pre-MBA majors all for a job where real wages are shrinking Also, if you want to do genetics or environmental research you have to go overseas where governments actually encourage new discovery and look at these challenges as opportunities...
  
  Rather than b'ing and moaning, these CEO types should pay their fair share of corporate and individual taxes and push for progressive government reforms. Amazingly it would help all of us get richer, including them - they just can't think beyond the next quarterly report.
  
  FACT: % of all income taxes paid by corporations:
  
  1973 24%
  2003 9-13% (depending on which report you read)

• I don't even look at Dell Systems...
  Haven't bought a Dell since the Athlon came out - and I used to be a big Dell/Intel fan. Give me the best technology for the money or lose me as a customer. I reward cost-effective and innovative companies with my $$.
  
  I do find all the Dell flyers I receive in the mail and in my Sunday Newspaper insert roll up into nice kindling logs for my fireplace though...

• Used to be a Dell customer...
  haven't bought a Dell since the Athlon came out. Guess they don't miss me, but then again I don't really miss them either and prefer AMD-based machines...
