I would have thought, given my background, that I would have taken much more interest in AI tech – which has sprung out onto the scene with ChatGPT, Bard, PaLM2, and updated Bing (Forbes has a lot of others listed here). Thus far, however, it has been a yawning “meh?”
Responsibilities
HB1137 – No, School Boards Are Not Just for Creating Policies and Budgets – They Own the Whole Dang Thing!
School Boards are responsible for all of it but many school board members just have no clue. I’m betting that 97% of them (or thereabouts) have never read the NH Statutes (RSAs) that the NH Legislature has passed that govern their responsibilities and actions.
RSA 91:a Right to Know demand – relative to obeying State Statute on SB2 Budget Committees
Yep, yet another RSA 91-A-athon from your’s truly on topics and issues I know best. I’ve been putting them off for a while; it’s been a longish past year with TMEW suffering from a 4-month bout with Shingles and then a total knee replacement this past March.
We Must Defend Our Values and Principles
Like you, I am tired of arrogant socialists. These people, who have never even run a lemonade stand need to shut up, sit down and get out of the way. They should not be telling us how we should live in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire Governors fail in the Oath of Office
Note: we welcome Dan Itse to our ranks as a Grokster! A long time member of the NH House of Representatives, he was acknowledged to be one of the foremost experts on both the US and NH Constitutions here in the State of NH and with his first post, he does not disappoint by bringing to light some responsibilities that many of us didn’t know we had – including our elected officials!
Welcome, Dan!
***************************
New Hampshire Governors, like every elected officer of the State and many appointed officers take an oath to uphold The Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, and the Constitution for the United States of America. However, I would wager most do not know these documents to well enough to know the full scope of or limitations upon the office they hold. Part 1, Article 24 of the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire proclaims:
“A well regulated militia is the proper, natural, and sure defense, of a State.”
This sentiment is echoed in the Second Amendment to the Constitution for the United States:
Failure to launch – thanks to Liberals?
‘Grok friend DCE (aka Chan) runs Weekend Pundit and every late Sunday afternoon / evening, he has a long running feature called “Thoughts on a Sunday“. Every Sunday (or Monday), it is a must read. This week had a bit on the idea that Society, under Liberal guidance, is prolonging teen-age adolescence into the mid-twenties. Which, when you look at the results of such coddling, is not good for families, not good for business, not good for these “Arrested Developers”, – and (note to guys caught up in this liberal “you don’t need to take up your responsibilities”) perspective mates are seeing it (emphasis mine):
At first I thought it was just incipient old fogeyism creeping up on me, but now I see that my observations about some members of the younger generation refusing to grow up were not unfounded.
When I look at BeezleBub, soon to be 19 years old, and compare him to others 5 or more years older than him, he comes out far ahead in regards to maturity, responsibility, and fiscal smarts. (This isn’t just a thoroughly biased dad speaking as I’ve heard that observation again and again from a lot of others. It might explain why some “older” women – those in their early to mid 20’s – find him so appealing: he’s a grown up.) While it’s true that he still lives here at The Manse, he pays his way including paying for his tuition and books when he’s attending college.
The extended or never-ending adolescence certainly isn’t helping our younger generation learn about coping with the adult issues the rest of us deal with every day. And whether they realize it or not, it also makes them less suitable as potential mates, the “hook-up” culture notwithstanding.
