Have you ever heard of or used a software called Roboform?

I have owned and used a computer since personal home computing was in it's infancy and home computers were still toys like the Commodore 64. When the first e-mail message went out over what is now the modern day internet back in the late eighties I was one of the 8000+ people who were sitting breathlessly waiting to find out if the message had been recieved.

California passed laws in the last few years allowing for what is called medicinal marijuana for people with terminal illnesses and or conditions that bring constant pain like Multiple Sclerosis, Crohns disease, Fibromyalgia, and leukemia. These people have gotten the medical prescription from a licensed medical facility and have complete medical documentation of their need of this medication.

I think that one of the most important and valuable commodities that one can recieve whilst in the educational dynamic and in blogging is the constructive critisism of their peers. It helps us to hone our skills and fine tune the direction in which we are headed so that we get more out of the educational experience than just grades and a degree. I think that constructive critisism is fantastic. even when the critic or the critique does not agree with your perspective. Anyone who cannot look at the their view from another angle really needs to question why they want to earn their degree in the first place and what exactly they plan to do with it? Narrow mindedness will not help any of us to attain our dreams nor will it work out there in the big bad world and if you cannot take someone elses opinion good or bad as long as it is constructive and not viscious then there is a problem.

Even Hillary needs a diplomatic envoy as a translator in her vision of the "Global Village".

Any Adult over the age of 27 will remember the time that I am about to recall to your mind. Do you remember back in the day, when your parents where (in your eyes anyway!) complete bumbling idiots who must have hatched out of an egg fully grown. Or so you thought because they obviously were either never ever young or they were to you so damned old that they didn't remember that far back? Do you remember those days?

I think that students such as myself who did not go directly from high school right into college have a more vested interest in the success or failure of their educational goals and thus I believe that we try harder. With that break between we enter the workforce or get married and start a family or dont get married as the case may be. We know what opportunities are available to people without a college degree because we have had many career paths blocked for us due to the lack of the degree.

I think that from the responses to the poll regarding who should pay for college educations that some people have got BS and reality twisted! I personally am applying for every single private scholarship for which I qualify and can find the time to do the essays that are required. Whether or not I get some of these scholarship awards will determine for me whether or not I can continue to work and go to school in order to attain a Bachelors degree of if I must, upon receipt of my AA degree, immediately join the workforce in my field in order to pay off the student loans that I have taken out to aid me in funding my education.
