Success is a matter of viewpoint. Stalin was successful. But I don't subscribe to his philosophy. Barak WAS successful because he accomplished his goals, but I don't subscribe to his philosophy as did half the other of the people of this country. (perhaps even more)

Trump will be successful also.

DeVos will be successful, IMO. Time will tell.
Still, you are using Obama as an example of when someone with little experience was a smart and wise choice that benefitted the country.

And again you left unanswered whether devos had the quality of smartness.

Only within your view that she isn't qualified (a subjective position).

Betsy DeVos

In my view, she's qualified. In yours she isn't. Now, only time will tell who was correct.

I am afraid not. You compared her to Obama in experience. That comparison if held similar would imply either Obama was qualified for the task (which doesn't seem apparent in context) or that Obama was a much needed breath of fresh air. Which again, doesn't seem apparent in the context of your other comments.

I guess I am just curious as to why you thought the comparison was relevant.

If religion is not allowed in schools, shouldn't atheism also not be allowed.

Tell ya what, get rid of religion, and I'll happily get rid of atheism. There's no reason to be talking about specific religious beliefs at a public school, and whilst atheism isn't a religion, there seems no place for discussion about it either.
Deal?

Because, IMV, being in a State senate is a much as a feet wetting experience on a national level as being involved the school system as was Betsy DeVos experience.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.............
Ummm I can't think one except minoan crafts over doing it and crazy egypt ego brainwash.

That's certainly what we've experienced here in Michigan, let me tell ya.
To give the devil her dues, I was very surprised to see she didn't initially stand for rescending Obama's statement on trans-rights, and caved under pressure.
But yet I wouldn't shed a tear if the entire Court were locked in the Oval Office and a super intense flash fired broke out. They've been throwing rights out the window since day one, and hopefully it stops sooner rather than later. The only solace is that he has been throwing away people's rights and liberties, and since Dems usually loose the "off year" elections, it will put them in a better position to storm Capital Hill in 2020.

Aranyani, Hindu goddess of the forests and the animals that dwell within it

Also in the Rig Veda: May the Waters gathered near the Sun, and those wherewith the Sun is joined, Speed forth this sacrifice of ours. I call the Waters, Goddesses, wherein our cattle quench their thirsts; Oblations to the Streams be given. Amrit is in the Waters in the Waters there is healing balm.

History can help you understand how they press down freedoms even the things you thought you have to accept as you find out it took more from you then just brainwashed acceptance.

I appreciate this might be your truth, but being cryptic doesn't help communicate your point. I have a good handle on 'history', but it's a rather broad study area.
