[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 239047, member: 47"] Star, even though I am done with school issues, parents here are up in arms - there is talk of ending the school year a week early to save some money, and 2,000 teachers probably are going to be laid off for the next school year. Last night the gov's newest idea to raise money was to levy a 10% golf tax. We just had a mass layoff of social workers and probation officers, but are spending 42 mother in law on a new elephant enclosure. Not that the elephant doesn't need one because the existing one is woefully small, but someone has offered to pay 1.5 mother in law to have the animal shipped to a preserve. That idea is not flying. Maybe I have gotten too logical in my old age, but ship the poor thing off - that money is better spent on the kids and services for them. Where is my property taxes and lottery money going to - I could have sworn they were meant for the schools. There should be a section in the DSM exclusively for Faulty Reasoning in adult government officials. I know its crazy out there, but am sure its not as crazy as living here.. Marcie Sigh... [/QUOTE]
