So I heard them say the other night that this will mean a battle between the states and the feds. I don't know what it will mean though. Like, will the states just use it as an excuse to stop the progression of laws on chronic? Or will they actually fight?

Eh Laz, answer the motherfuckin question!! Are you serious about what you said about voting or were you being sarcastic?

Federal law trumps state law but I doubt we'll have any problems.

1. The shops shut down/raided in cali were apparantly marked by the state government first for investigation. They weren't complying with state law and the feds shut them down. Why not state? I don't know

2. It's a matter of state rights, and I highly doubt Obama and his administration want to go down as one which trampled all over state rights

Amazing. This thread is still one of the only continuously active threads on the forum currently, even though the election is over...

A common education for all

It was only at the very end of the 19th century, as radical political movements were being formed, that a common education for all was seriously debated in Britain - 250 years after it had been advocated by Comenius.

At an international conference of socialists in 1896 delegates from Europe and the US argued that all working people should receive a full education. Britain's Keir Hardie



(pictured) argued that this meant an education that was 'free at all stages, open to everyone without any tests of prior attainment at any age - in effect, a comprehensive "broad highway" that all could travel' (reported in the Westminster Gazette 1 August 1896, quoted in Benn and Chitty 1996:3).

It is not surprising that Hardie wanted a better deal for the working class. He had been born in Lanarkshire, the illegitimate son of a servant, and had received no education at all. At the age of eight he had become the family's sole wage earner when he was sent to work as a baker's delivery boy. Three years later he was a coal miner. But by the time he was 17 he had taught himself to read and write and in 1893 he was one of the founders of the Independent Labour Party. By 1906 he was leader of the newly-formed Labour Party in the House of Commons.

Not all socialists agreed with Hardie about a common education for all, however. Some members of the Fabian Society favoured specialised and differentiated schooling. Sydney Webb, for example, approved of the 1902 Education Act's provision for new fee-paying grammar schools offering a few free scholarship places.

The Fabians were middle class liberals who acted Socialist. The above is for you Notorious cos I did not explain why it was that the University system existed due to Socialism. Cant account for other countries - but I guess it was pretty much the same.

Thats the man every student getting a University education in the Uk has to thank. Guess no one knows his name now.
