Zero-tolerance policies criticized - baltimoresun.com

More about the stupidity at the top levels in our schools. Imagine handing out a suspension for a girl having pepper spray in her purse. You suspend for USING it indiscriminately, not having it. Idiocy.

This was in the article: ""...It goes against the objective of schools, and that is to graduate students." Well, I thought the objective was teaching/learning, not to simply graduate them? If this is the case, just teach them the GED test in 9th grade and be done with it.
And MD citizens could correct this through voicing their opinions, but it never happens. We may get the government we deserve, but with teachers so stupid, do our children - who can hopefully make a better world - get the education they deserve?

Obama Crackdown on For-Profit Colleges Faces Stiff Resistance - FoxNews.com

Why is he doing it? Elitism. The schools in question are vocational training schools, not intellectually-based, meaning they teach the people who actually do some work the skills they need to actually do the work. Obama is an intellectual with zero experience in the real world. He eyes these schools and their graduates with contempt. The question I ask: With our president such an intellectual, how's it working for ya?

Obama Crackdown on For-Profit Colleges Faces Stiff Resistance - FoxNews.com: "

It's just too hard to resist.

Weiner Stands Firm

The material writes itself.

Delusional Superhero Anthony Weiner Liked Telling The Ladies About His Cape, Tights | The Smoking Gun: "In private Twitter messages last month to a Delaware high school student, Weiner told of butting heads with Republican congressional opponents. Describing how he returned fire at his political foes, Weiner told the 17-year-old girl, “I came back strong. Large. In charge. Tights and cape shit.”

But there's a big problem with that theory, it defies federal law.

Atlas Shrugged

[Atlas Shrugged]Important stuff, and I bet most educators haven't read it. It's interesting that this is now a major film, about how a world is doomed in which the individual is not free to create, that civilization cannot exist where men are slaves to society and government, and that the destruction of the profit motive leads to the collapse of society. Sound familiar?

Ayn Rand: probably the most important intellectual mind in politics in the 20th century.

Obama: Gas Price Solution Lies in Renewable Energy Sources

Let's see, we can either A) develop new energy sources not yet created, much less proven, but what we know about them is that they're expensive and made overseas, or 2) drill for resources we know we have and know are proven, and have them in the near-term.

If it's gasoline for cars that Obama's talking about, how can we revolutionize the entire industry and make everyone buy new cars in the near term, when we can't afford what we have now?

The man doesn't understand the first thing about economics. Hell, he doesn't understand HOME economics and household budgeting!

The answer is to drill for oil at home in the near term as a stopgap while we develop those new energy sources.  The pie in the sky mentality of liberal politicians is taking us broke.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says one answer to high gasoline prices is to spend money developing renewable energy sources.

Subject: Next Amendment to the Constitution

I received this in my e-mail inbox today and it blew me away.  YES!  yes yes yes!

Subject: Next Amendment to the Constitution

 The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months&  8 days to be ratified!  Why?  Simple!  The people demanded it.  That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.

 Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.

  I'm asking you to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on your address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

  In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.  This is one idea that really should be passed around.



 Congressional Reform Act of 2011



  1. Term Limits.
            12 years only, one of the possible options below.
             A. Two Six-year Senate terms
             B. Six Two-year House terms
             C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms


  2.  No Tenure / No Pension.
               A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.


  3.  Congress (past, present&  future) participates in Social Security.
                All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately.
            All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.


  4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.


  5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.


  6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.


  7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.


  8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/2/12.



 The American people did not make the current contract with members of Congress.
 Congressmen made all these contracts to benefit themselves.


 Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.
 The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

 If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.


 MUCH OF WHAT WE FACE IN TERMS OF PRIVILEGE AND SELFISHNESS IN THIS COUNTRY MIGHT BEST BE CHANGED STARTING FROM THE TOP DOWN.
 If you agree with the above, pass it on.   If not, just delete


 You are one of my 20. I INVITE YOU TO KEEP IT GOING. WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE -- THANKS!
