Education

I find it interesting what has happened with education in the past 500 years. Today everyone in Western Society has a chance to obtain an education, with few exceptions. 500 years ago, generally speaking if your parents were peasants, you would be a peasant. There was not a whole lot of mobility. So one would say that today we have a better education, or do we? Yes today everyone learns, but your are put into a learning style and for the most part you do not have a choice as to how you will be taught from ages 3 to 18. There are learning styles that are not conducive to a classroom setting. 500 years ago there was freedom in how one could think. One should look at the inventors during the renaissance time and the influences they had. It is my belief that today we have many minds that are going to waste inside the classroom, where as 500 years ago those minds might have been able to progress. How many Da Vinci's have we lost? How many Shakespeare's failed out of high school. Once can only ponder if we are executing the correct educational system today.

Ape Man

Does some kind of ape man exist? Or are we living in a society where an old myth is perpetuated into a reality? Thousands of sightings have been reported throughout north America, especially in the pacific northwest and parts of Canada have been hotbeds for Bigfoot sightings. The big question is, is there something roaming throughout the forests that we are unaware of? Or are these tales either attempts on certain peoples of fame or late night drinking adventures? Physical evidence of a Bigfoot is scare, of course there is the Patterson film, which as been debated since its initial appearance. And a more recent film is the freeman footage, shot by a man while hunting. While these films may provide evidence supporting Bigfoot, they only raise more speculation, how were these men able to encounter Bigfoot while most expedition's are lucky to come across a foot print? The best evidence supporting Bigfoot may not be any kind of visual evidence but a recording of a 911 call in the 1990s in Kitsap Peninsula, Washington. The call is intriguing. The man calling 911 had reported earlier that someone had killed his dog. The man never actually uses the phrase Bigfoot or yeti, because he didn't want the person to think the call was a prank, suddenly the man is startled, and he states the "thing" is looking at him. Whatever the creature is it runs off into the night never to be seen again. Now the question is why would someone try to hoax a Bigfoot in this fashion, there absolutely no physical evidence, so anyone worth there salt and that wanted to make some money would have come up with something better than a 911 call.
