Plain and simple: Greed

by Duane on July 6th, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Posted In: Education

I read in one article today where someone suggested that only the school administrators should take the fall on this, not the teachers.

“This is a picture of a little girl who was slashed in the face with a razor blade for no other reason than for a gang banger to commit a senseless act of violence against the first person or person he saw.

Posted In: Headlines

Man, the hits keep-a-coming. “…DeLauro and many of her Democratic colleagues will have to swallow hard as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) gathers her troops Tuesday for a rare mid-August session to pass a $26.1 billion state aid spending package that cuts billions of dollars from food stamps to save thousands of teachers’ jobs and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

by Duane on July 30th, 2010 at 8:31 am
Posted In: Question

I recently dealt with this and I have realized for years that it is probably some of the worse advise we can give our children.

That way, the situation can be properly controlled and can […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
