It seems so bad because our society ''needs'' so much. If kids were willing to be clothed with goodwill clothes,ride the bus to school,forgo the ipods,cellphones and other trinkets,the money in alot of cases would be there for the neccesities.

Seattle has the students use mass transit. That gets them to school. So they rather cut children''s school due to fuel costs. Or tax on money to make the difference. I would rather the students have education. Not all the wars the leaders fight. We are paying for them to learn not cut things out.

Republican Logic:


It''s a very good idea to spend trillions in Iraq.

It''s a very bad idea to fund our children''s education here at home.

And the American sheeple will still vote for these GOP fascists? After what McBush and more of the McSame have done to us? I''m waiting for one good reason not to Vote for Change.

Ah from pauper to Prince/princess? All due to the GOP?

Unfortunately, not all have been given this advantage from the GOP.

With some of your comments made I find it difficult to believe that you are as truely Christian as you profess.

Matthew 15: 18-20
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile.
19
For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, unchastity, theft, false witness, blasphemy.
20
These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile."

Sorry kids. Rightwing America had to incarcerate all those hippy dope smokers, and now they''re costing us billions of dollars in health care as they grow old. Maybe you can afford an education in you next life.

This is only the begining of what we have to look forward to.

I''m sure the kids will have to keep their coats no during the day, as officials will want to keep thermostats set real low. Which should help kids stay awake when they are completing their longer days at school. I guess you could call that a silver lining in this cloud, eh?

It really makes me sick when I see Caterpillar and other companies bringing in contract workers from Pakistan, India, Japan and China to do the jobs that Americans can do. I have heard them telling contract workers to tell their countrymen to apply to come over and they will get them a job.

They sure love our country don''t they. These businesses should be ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES, WE HAVE OUR MEN AND WOMEN DYING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THIS IS THE WAY THEY REPAY OUR SERVICE.
