| Re: Arm the teachers
Thank you. Plenty creative. Wrong planet. Probably wrong time - but plenty of my whacko-predictions have come true in my lifetime - like solar storage-batteries (5th grade). The scientists then thought it to be a "childlike" suggestion that would never work. "How", they asked, "would one ever get solar energy into the batteries"?
One that has never come true (yet, anyway) is the notion of "Rubber Cars" - specially treated to never harden, formulated to cut weight and practically zero auto deaths per year. Another is the windmill-car (squirrel-cage/not paddles). Oh, what a world.
