Obama Campaign AWS Infrastructure In One Diagram

All of you should know that this was paid with campaign dollars, not government funds. To pretend otherwise is an incredible indictment of our education system and an example of the assault on k-12 civics courses.

You severely misunderstood my comment.

That was a literal question, not rhetorical or sarcastic. I'm well aware of the difference between campaign funds and tax dollars.

nness didn't make it clear as to what "This" was in his "This was made by Amazon" so I was trying to get more detail to determine if "This" was just the picture or of "This" was the entire infrastructure. I was just curious if Amazon ran this farm for free.

We have K-12 civics courses?

We used to at least. I had classes about government every year from 7th to 12th. If we don't anymore, that is very disturbing.

I attended school in USA grades 7 - 11 and I did not have a civics class. Is civics part of the standard curriculum?

Yeah, with the size of government now, you need half the school day dedicated to civics K-12. The Obama crowd would love that.

Thank you. I dropped out in the 11th grade (went to college) which explains why I missed civics in the 12th. (I went to school in California.)

I caught up recently by drilling my Aussie wife for her US Citizen civics test - she learned all 100 questions by heart.

I made her Web flash cards, too: http://www.verticalsysadmin.com/US.html

I dropped out of college, too. Now I don't have an EDUCATION section on my resume. Plenty of work experience though.
