Wow...

You know the time when I was trying to criticize the IB "Learner's Profile"?

I came up with a little argument, with the help of some definitions from several sources (will list later), against the toughest and thought to be the best things about IB...

Open-Mind

They understand and appreciate their own cultures and personal histories, and
are open to the perspectives, values and traditions of other individuals and
communities. They are accustomed to seeking and evaluating a range of points
of view, and are willing to grow from the experience.

ok... above is the IB description.

Now, if you think of open-mindedness as a exact virtue... you would have to think in a fairly unbiased way. You would have to see everything about a certain object or subject you want know about, in an unbiased fashion and treat them equally and fairly.

Kind of Communist, especially when you force people to do it, to get their diploma.

Ok, does an opinion affect the way you see things? YES! So does them saying that you need an open-mind mean saying you can't have an opinion? Quite so. Opinions lead to people judging things. So it isn't compatible.

So maybe the profile isn't as good as it looks?

"That's not change we can believe in"

McCain is forced to differentiate himself and his party from Obama. He is now trying to attack Obama's "change" scheme and sounding a bit more like a Republican. But that's just another example of flip-flopping from him and to make it worse...

He is a pretty bad speaker. He is no match for Obama's bullshitting and Ron Paul's evidence and reasons. His awkward smile and undramatic tone is annoying and repulsive. The reactions from the audiences are very dull and non-existent. Other Republicans are booing at him everytime he gives a speech.

Now there are THREE. Barrack Obama, John McCain and Ron Paul. Ron Paul would never have thought he would ever make it that far. And since Ron Paul does not have "drop out" in mind and there are still conventions being held and delegates being gained, this would continue.

Meanwhile, RP supporters are considering their next steps. Should they support the Libertarian Candidate, who is polling about 5% without help nor coverage?
