A. Actually it is an alternative, it's called human culling. That means, if you reduce the human population you reduce the human impact on animal populations and there is more room for the animals.

What is the difference between alternative schools and special schools?
Q. Many people always assume that only special needs students go to alternative schools when it's not true. Isn't it against the "least restrictive environment" to send special needs students to the alternative school? Shouldn't they go to a special school since it meets their needs? Alternative schools don't support special needs students well. They don't have speech or self-contained classes. What kind of parent would send their own special needs child to the alternative school that doesn't even meet their needs? The special school would be more appropriate. I thought alternative schools were schools that were nontraditional. I thought they provided a choice for students. Students aren't forced to go to alternative schools. It's… [cont.]

A. You are correct with your statement that parents with a special needs child should NOT send their child to an alternative school. Alternative schools are for those children that are at an impass and the public school system is looking for a way to put that child out of their school system. They explain it to the parents as a "way of helping their child" when in reality, it helps them...the school. The school will earn an A grade because they have less "special education" students in their school, who may not pass all the state tests...ie: FCATS. Special needs students should be placed in the public schools and have IEPs in place that met all the childs individual needs, as documented by their parents, teachers, physicians and social… [cont.]

Asked by Vincent Valentine - Mon Jul 5 23:41:40 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If an alternative song becomes popular, it stays in the Alternative genre. "Popular" isn't really a genre, but a lot of people consider it to be one just because it's easier to generalize all (or most) of the current radio hits as such. For instance, when The Script started playing, they considered themselved to be in the Alternative genre. Their most popular song, Breakeven, plays on the radio a lot now, but that doesn't mean the STYLE of music is totally different now. It's all about the music's style, not necessarily about radio play. I hope I helped a little bit. :D

What is the cleanest alternative fuel that has been discovered ?
Q. I know each alternative fuel comes with a price (as does everything). The extracting of hydrogen is supposedly not environmentally friendly, this being one of the prices of its implementation. I am not an expert on the subject though. Does anyone know what the cleanest alternative fuel available or that has been found is ? I also am wondering what some of the pros and cons of some of the others are. I suppose cleanest could mean one that is the most environmentally and economically friendly source available so far.

This is where someone pays to have riding privileges and some care responsibilities, but you keep the horse on your property and can still use them for your own personal needs as well, as long as it meshes well with the plans that the half boarder has. It's a great way to have some extra income and also it's good for your horse because she'll get some extra exercise. Of course this option is only viable for an animal that is at a certain point in a training program where having multiple riders is feasible. And the fit between horse-owner-boarder has to work out too. You can't really have a horse that you're training for say barrel racing be taken in another direction by a boarder who… [cont.]

What is the name of this alternative source of energy called?
Q. I recall hearing of some source of alternative energy that was based on the motion of the waves. Basically, the waves provided the energy(no giant turbines) and these things functioned like wind mills of the sea. Everything else was blah blah. The inventor of this ingenious device was some high school or college student, I think. Whatever it is, just tell me the name of the inventor, the name of the thing he/she made, and how it works. I may have placed this question in the wrong place because there really isn't enough about alternative energy to devote a link to. Remember, inventor, invention and how it works.

Hospices care for people from the moment of delivery (when it is known that a baby will not survive long after birth) up until 115 years old and everything in between.

Asked by Johnny - Fri Aug 14 15:39:25 2009 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Health care savings accounts are one big aspect of it. People have an account that is created from which they can draw when they need health care. Since they are put in charge of their health care, they become "informed shoppers" because they get to KEEP the money they save. Once doctors, hospitals, clinics, therapists, etc., must "compete" like a REAL business, costs will drop. Of course, we can't talk about REAL reform without talking about tort reform... something which is glaringly lacking in the current bill. Another (partial) solution is to make it possible for drugs to become generic faster. Let the government fund pharmaceutical research so the drug companies don't have the overhead they want to recoup once a drug is discovered.
