Anyone know how to remove the airbox and fit decent filters on my 96 triple?

I was shocked and horrified this week to find out they no longer have to learn the periodic table for the modern equivilent to O level. Testing son on his GCSE stuff was frightening - they're given a book with lots of pretty pictures and bland statements such as the above - there's no understanding of how it all fits together <sigh> Education has become a means of turning out fodder for commerce. And if they happen to make some money out of flogging products or advertising on the way so much the better. It's really sad.
Lady Nina says... Quite. In testing him for the exam he had I discovered that he had memorised the information, with no understanding. This is not down to an inability to understand it, he is easily able to do that, but a lack of motivation. If all he needs to do is parrot back the stuff from the book, why should he bother to learn anything?
This shouldn't surprise anyone. As long as a tiny - unworking - minority control the means by which the remainder of us are maintained in slavery, then commerce will take precedence over culture or learning.
I managed to get a first class masters by just learning and repeating parrot fashion. Its a good technique.
For jumping through standards hoops yes. For developing knowledge and thought, No. But I forget, people who can think and reason are not in demand. In fact by being able to see various points of view I am immediately at a disadvantage it seems. Instead of hating difference, I seek consensus and am thus lacking the single minded fundamentalism to drive all before me. Good job on the whole. If I was ever completely convinced I'd be evangelical and we wouldn't want that. I'd never get the stains out.
