CH:
Everywhere you go
Everyone’s looking for love

VS:

Searching here
Searching there
Searching everywhere

Won’t find it in a house
Won’t find it in a car
Won’t find it in a job
Won’t find it in the stars

EDUCATORS & PERFORMANCE BASED PAY

The problem with "performance/incentive based pay" in education is that you are totally reliant upon the ability of students as the student outcomes are the only thing measurable. Teacher effort is unmeasurable. Which group of teachers will want to take the dumber kids who cannot achieve much regarding "performance" ? Every teacher will want to take the smarter kids who achieve "performance' far easier. Measuring a teacher upon student outcomes is plain silly. A teacher can only do so much with a student with multiple educational disabilities.

Why don't doctors have "performance/incentive based pay"? Exactly the same problem as with teachers. Which doctor will want to treat incurable diseases in patients if they are only paid when a patient is cured? Doctors would only be treating patients with diseases that they were absolutely sure they could cure.

Likewise, which politician would like "performance/incentive based pay" as voted by the community? If political decisions were only paid on value as perceived by the community, how many people would want to be politicians?

The business model does not work for a number of different professions. It's flaw is that it assumes a factory assembly line where all things can be measured equally. It is a wrong assumption but favoured by conservatives who value money over people in their economic rationalist worldview.

FOR THE ARMCHAIR CRITICS

Piss off a songwriter and you are likely to become the subject of one of his songs. This song, " For The Armchair Critics", is dedicated to H.D. and his Moronic Spammers. HD proclaims to the world on his Facebook page that he is proud to be a low brow moron ...

Which elevator plays your muzak? "Sometime and the living is queasey.... Yeehah!"

LYRICS

VS:

I hear you that you yodel
As a country yokel
Performing yeehah solo
At the local Bowlo (Yeehah!)

CH:

Which elevator plays your muzak?
I’d like to know

Uninformed opinion
Education none
Fat lazy bum
Smart as a crumb

You know what music’s bad
As an ignorant lad
You say my music sux
As if I give a …

Give me a number.
Show me which elevator.
It's gotta be one of them.
Well my opinion is ...
I said ...
"Sometime and the living is queasy!
Sometime and the living is real queasy!"

LYRICS

VS:

You have no questions
No shadow of doubt
You have faith for sure
You found the truth you shout

CH:

Sail from the sure
Time to explore
Sail from the sure

You know for certain
Wrapped up solid clear
It’s the gospel truth
It’s absolute, no fear

I’m not so certain
Puzzles all about
I’m filled with wonder
Floating in a sea of doubt

LYRICS

Head upon the pillow, thoughts come flowing fast
Fears of the future, thoughts from distant past
Darkness floods the room, shadows cross the walls
Silence so noisy, echoes down the hall

CH:

It's nothing unusual but something I'd like to fix
It's just my daily dreams playing nightly tricks

Hiding in the wardrobe, dark entangled view
Crying in the moonlight, playing possum crew
White ants in the woodwork, saucers in the sky
Grey sloth rules the office, cat eats pigeon pie

Hire wire acrobat, jester circus clown,
Working in the big top, fooling all around
Blind girl painting pictures, dead man being fed
Dancer in the garden with earworm in her head

Airships in the heavens, flying fish in cars
Dazzling neon starlight captured in a jar
Leeches on the payroll, deaf mute on the phone
Walking backwards down the stairs, turning into stone
