So has anyone successfully restored an entire system from the Cloud (or
a Time Machine come to think of it)? How easy was it? Any statistics
on success rate? Some TM instructions require 'your original Mac OS

I suspect that if one were to conduct a survey about the belief that the US

30,000 feet to spray nasty chemical poisons (hence all those horrible *

Amazingly, Snopes doesn't have anything about chemtrails. In fact, there is

That would suggest the willingness to apply rational cognition to the
issue, which, as you suggest, is the whole point.

Of course, applying Occam's razor with an 18th century knowledge base
yields "libertarianism".

So, by extrapolation to the average 21st century knowledge base, we're
screwed, Occam's Razor-wise. At least in the United States where our public
education system spews out illiteracy at an ever-increasing rate.

So how do we fund/organize an education system *for all* that teaches
critical thinking skills (if it's possible)? Especially when faced with
such phenomenon (from July 2012) as described in

This was big news last summer. Also, one cannot fail to recognize that it
was the good Texas Christians who were behind the rejection of teaching
critical thinking skills. A thinly-veiled move to prevent losing any Texas
Good Christians to the critical thought process.

Yep, I think 90% is in the ballpark, but it's not the percentage as much as
