Welfare cheats!!

Welfare is not meant to be a career choice! While some people rightly deserve and need welfare, there are way to many that use it as a way to get free money! The people that do this should all go to prison and make license plates with the other criminals! And what makes it worse is the current government just keeps pouring money into welfare and takes it away from systems that really need it, such as higher education!!!
Do they do this as a form of riot control to appease the lazy and the cheats so their masses won't cause trouble? Or is the government just taking the easy way out?

President of Detroit school board

This article was in the Detroit News on March 4th. It was written about Otis Mathis, who is president of the Detroit school board. The sample from one of his emails follows, "If you saw Sunday's Free Press that shown Robert Bobb the emergency financial manager for Detroit Public Schools, move Mark Twain to Boynton which have three times the number seats then students and was one of the reason's he gave for closing school to many empty seats." I am just so disgusted to know that one of the top educators in this Detroit writes and thinks like this!! What is more appalling is that this man is in charge of the academic future of the 90,000 children in Detroit! What is even more appalling is that he graduated high school with a 1.8 point average! He even had the nerve to challenge a requirement that Wayne State University had about passing an English proficiency test! Are you kidding? This should be enforced, not eliminated. This requirement was dropped in 2007!!!! Shame on Wayne State!!! For years America has been dumbing down and this is just another example!! No wonder companies are going overseas!

Do you believe it, at this age?

I was talking with someone the other day about something we both had witnessed. At one point she said "I seen it", when should have been "I saw it"! Now when you are talking with children that are below the age of, say, 12, one expects misuse of the English language once in a while. But this was an adult I was talking with!! And another thing.. what is with using the work ax instead of ask? Are you saying you want to chop me up? Were you not taught how to pronounce certain words or their meaning? It is amazing how some people do not bother to speak correctly when these same people get offended when they are not understood! Communication, which is the key to any successful relationship, be it business or personal has to start with basic skills!! There is nothing that makes one sound more stupid, at least in this persons view!! There you go!!

sports,education,priorities

With today being the day when allot of people go into la la sports mode, I feel this is very much needed! The super bowl and most pro sports are made out to be far more beneficial for society than they really are. Take, for example, the countless hours people waste in front of their TV listening to news people who have never even been involved in a sport that they are talking about. When was the last time you or your friends got together to talk about others that excel in education? A night watching Jeopardy or the national spelling bee? NO, people are caught up watching others makes millions by throwing, passing, dunking, for reasons that mostly benefit gamblers , players, and owners!! And who actually understands a player or coach when they are interviewed after the game or big play? Which in right to one of the points I am talking about, these guys need education more than basically hitting each other. When is the last time that a football, baseball, basketball, hockey or other sport enlightened your mental state or benefited the economic future for your family?
