Vouchers yes!
(24 Messages)
Tip of the hat to the Supreme Court on this one. The only people who are really afraid of vouchers are the teacher's unions and public school bureaucrats who fear the loss of the captive audience (and the captive bucks) of families that now perhaps can choose to bail out of atrocious public school systems. -- "No people in history have preserved their freedom who thought that by not being strong enough to protect themselves they might prove inoffensive to their enemies". - NSC-68-1950
OT: Don't take the kids!!
(25 Messages)
The notion that children should be neither seen or heard in 'polite society' is a social construct. It appears to be that some folk think that children are disabling to one's social standing, that children do not have a part in society or that children need not be treated with the same respect that other human beings are. But then we only have to look at the discriminatory practices of most states (i.e. countries not just US states) to realise that this attitude of intolerance towards others is ...
California Voucher Debate. Vote NO on Proposition 38!
(25 Messages)
In California, we have a referendum coming up in a couple of months, being pushed on us by a right winged extremist, Silicone Valley billionaire Tim Draper. He has not been meeting with people to discuss the merits of the issue, because it has no merits, he has instead been inundating us with a multi-million dollar barrage of false and misleading commercials, all over the airwaves in California's Television market, trying to push this very destructive idea upon an unsuspecting public. The Draper ...
Ramsgate School.....
(24 Messages)
After reading the League Tables on the BBC Website, I see that "Ramsgate School" in Kent, is the worst school on there. Can anyone tell me, out of curiosity, what this school is like? Because I remember a really bad secondary school near my house (I didnt go there) which was basically falling apart and everyone who went there ended up either working in factories or ram raiding supermarkets in stolen 1983 Fords, but that was only 200th from the end!

Move Your ASS-ets Long Beach: Boomer Economics - Long Beach Real Baby Boomers have had a profound impact on America, as consumers. One economist described that impact like " watching a basketball pass through a python ". Everything the Boomers touch goes up in price. Look at all of the elementary schools built in the 50s and 60s. The cost of a college education skyrocketed from 1975-1995 because of their impact. Housing rose during the 80s as they bought their nests, stocks in the 90s as they invested their 401-k accounts, and real estate in the first half of this decade as they purchased their ...
Now, the Boomers are getting ready to retire and everyone is concerned that they'll drain the Social Security system. I wouldn't be too concerned about that.. The government saw that problem way back in 1978 when they amended the IRS code to allow for tax-deferred retirement plans under section 401-k. Additional provisions were made for non-profit workers with 403-b plans. Hailed as the answer to corporate pensions, the 401-k plans, sometimes called thrift and savings plans, allow a worker to contribute a portion of his earnings, on a pre-tax basis, ...

Fatal plane crash stuns Wellington Aero Club community Wellington -- It was a sound Diane Keller noticed first. A muffled growl that seemed different from all the other times she had heard airplanes take off and land in this close-knit aviation community. Keller was standing in her kitchen Sunday morning making breakfast when she heard it. Neighbors Scott and Joann Schlander had fired up their single-engine Thorp T-18 in their home hangar and were rolling toward the airstrip, which splits the tidy rows of homes on Lindbergh Lane and Boeing Court in the Wellington Aero Club. The last ...
On Monday, bouquets of flowers were placed on the ground or woven into the metal gate that borders the field, the only visible signs remaining from the twisted wreckage in which the popular Wellington couple died. The grass field had been swept clean by federal aviation officials, who are looking into whether mechanical failures, pilot error or both led to the crash. Early reports suggested that Scott Schlander, 40, tried to return to the runway after takeoff when he sensed a problem with the engine. But experienced pilots ...
Israelis in August / Going to the beach is a Jewish tradition In recent years, we have been inundated by books and articles arguing that Tel Aviv has long turned its back on the sea. The problem with this claim is that whoever made it has never set his foot on the sand, nor wants to. The truth is that Tel Aviv in the summer is a city entirely attuned to the sea, and many of its streets lead to the beach. All you have to do is walk on those streets. Both Frishman and Bograshov streets take you, as though of their own accord, from the tumultuous city center to the beach. And although people tend to say that Tel Aviv ...
