I need it in something resembling English... no offense intended. Could you try again.... -- Nom=de=Plume Challenged what little brain power you have? The feds screw up a lot of stuff they control. Ever since the Dept of Education was formed, our education results have plummeted. Ah English. Nice that you can form the sentences. I'm sure it was just a string of typos. Keep up the personal attacks Bill. They make you look like such a great person. Education is a complicated subject. Certainly, local control has its points, but there's a double-edge sword for that methodology alone also. Locally controlled schools can be great, but they can also be terrible. Home schooling, for example, is typically very, very good... equal to or better than regular schooling, but they're not always great. Some regulation re the curriculum is needed to prevent problems (home schooling and locally controlled schools). Standards are important. Teaching to a test is terrible. You can't blame the quality of public education on any one side. No Child Left Behind was a good idea, supported by Reps and Dems., but it was under-funded. It hasn't failed completely from what I've read, but it's not doing what it should do either. FYI, I've enjoyed discussing various things with you, but I have to tell you that that will stop if you continue with your belittling. -- Nom=de=Plume |

Why not simply adjust the means-testing favorably for veterans (ref. "Spinal Tap")? ...in response to a specious argument, btw. And I do not remember being promised lifetime medical when I joined the Air Force. They cover service connected injuries, but did not promise medical for those not retiring from the service And they do take care of those with service connected problems. My brother is an Agent Orange vet, and gets his care via the VA. Good care also. I think vets deserve better. I'm sure you disagree. I think it depends on what you did in the military. I bounced around in the North Atlantic, kept the godless communists out of the Chesapeake bay and I don't think the VA owes me anything. My father had a European theater medal with 2 battle stars, CIB, a couple other campaign medals, 2 purple hearts and he was a POW. He deserved the care he got. And yet, unless you were injured somewhere along the line, it matters not what you faced. What happens, like in the case of Agent Orange and a hundred other chemicals vets were exposed to, symptoms don't show up for years and aren't directly attributable to the exposure, the trauma, the ugliness that is war. Are those vets any less entitled? They get taken care of. Agent Orange effects showed up later so they covered those exposed. After a long fight over recognizing the effects. It took decades from what I recall. Excellent coverage, eh? Yup, my brother gets excellent coverage. And his wife is covered also because of his coverage. But she did spend a couple years in the Army. By gov't run health care?? I'm shocked. -- Nom=de=Plume Gov't run does not mean cheaper. And he paid a lot for that health care. Sleeping in a tent, getting shot at, friends getting killed, and working in the chemical. Your point? The gov't does somethings quite well! -- Nom=de=Plume Over spend money for one. And the Fed's do a well at doing a worse job than local government in education. I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying. I need it in something resembling English... no offense intended. Could you try again.... -- Nom=de=Plume Mr Swill is living up to his name again. "I'M PRAYING FOR A RAIN IN CALIFORNIA SO THE GRAPES CAN GROW AND THEY CAN MAKE MORE WINE" You can not afford California wine. Guess I'll have to settle for the old Dean Martin record. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzeR1pJIZBA |
