Rather, I feel like I should be able to sue my public school system for allowing my slackass to graduate despite never taking physics, chemistry, or geometry.
I should be able to sue for $300+ million, to be vaguely precise. You know, the prize money the inventor of John McCain’s magic electric car battery will win. And clearly, had I taken high school level physics, chemistry and geometry, I would be that inventor. Because, you see, I am really good at inventing stuff, except for the part where I don’t know what the fuck I am talking about at any given point. (Plus all my ideas center around magnets, which are far less powerful than your space pen that balances on its point may have led you to believe.)
(Also, this is really interesting. GM is rehiring EV-1 people to work on the Volt, the battery-driven “hybrid” car. If you haven’t seen Who Killed The Electric Car, you really, really should. It’s important. Though Atlantic Monthly is a fucking liar in this piece: “GM’s EV1, an all-electric technological masterpiece that had done so poorly commercially that GM wound up crushing the cars amid a hail of public condemnation.” That line is a goddamned fucking lie. GM crushed the car from concept on, and purposefully failed it commercially, and literally crushed the cars despite laundry lists of people who would pay through the nose for one of those beautiful space-cars. This doesn’t mean I’m not excited on a few levels for the Volt.)
