Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the budget surplus.

It's not a matter of budgets, it's a matter of social priorities.


Cough. Sputter. Cough

Did SCOTT WEISER just say that?

He's becoming...gasp...a SOCIALIST right before our eyes!!!!

========================
And here's what's interesting as well. Consider if, in the context of
this discussion of persons with disabilities, I had responded to Scott's
suggestions that, "Tough luck on the parents of the disabled child! They
made the decision to have that child. Why is that *my* problem?! Why
should the classrooms in which my children are required to learn, be
burdened with pupils who are a hindrance and slow up the whole learning
process?"

I don't feel that way. I wouldn't say it.

BUT.... Where does Scott get off showing such empathy for persons with
disabilities when, just a few days ago, in the discussion of universal
health care and the plight of the poor, he took a different tack. I
recall phrases like "Why is it my problem that the poor decided to have
children they couldn't support?!"

WOW! The turmoil in Scott's head over these issues must be intense. Such
logical inconsistency must border on the painful.

His attitudes as displayed during the health care debate certainly seemed
focused on a simple "survival of the fittest" type of attitude. This does
not, it seems to me, fit with his attitude about education, which seems
instead to be a heavily exaggerated type of social engineering.
