Challenging. And if you could visualize an educational system where a child is continuously challenged if they cant achieve a level theyre shunted off to a different challenge or theyre asked to do it over again. You now have education thats tailored to the individual. And i am absolutely convinced that that is going to create a class of smarter people. Our children are going to be smarter than we are and their children will be smarter than they are. And is that a good thing . Yeah, i think so. Smarter people do everything better.

One of the victims was a dual israeliuk citizen, rabbi avraham goldberg, and we send our deepest condolences to his family and friends, as well as to the families of the other victims.

If it were otherwise, europe doesnt have restrictions most of the other world doesnt have restrictions. Have the cuban people benefited from that . Has their standard of living gone up .

If you look at whats happening in caracas, if you look at whats happening in moscow, these regimes are buckling because of the decline in the price of oil. So thi
