Prior to the 70s teachers worked at the job because they loved kids
and loved teaching, and most of them were good at it. After
unionization, people began to look at teaching careers as a secure
job
with decent pay and great benefits. The schools have been going
down hill ever since.

Sure, w'hine, sure.

I think anyone who has had kids in school in the past 25-30 years
would agree. A few teachers stand out, but not many anymore.

Been there, done that, and you're right.

Somebody here (forget who) recently made a comment about John suggesting
that he may be a recovering alcoholic. Didn't say he *was*. Just
suggested that maybe he was. It was uncalled for and obviously the
poster has absolutely no idea if it is true or not.

Harry liked that of course, picked up on it and within the hour was
commenting on John's alcoholism, as if it was a proven fact.
That's the crap that gets me ****ed off sometimes. Cute but transparent.

I think it is possible Herring is an alcoholic in recovery. If he is,
there's nothing wrong with that. Recovery means you are controlling the
illness, and it isn't controlling you. And I surely think those
Republicans who so obviously hate the poor, minorities and the
disenfranchised are Republic-trash. Absolutely.

-----------------------------------------

It's also possible that you (or I) are methamphetamine addicts, but
there is no evidence of that being a fact.
My complaint was your follow-up post insinuating that he indeed *is* an
alcoholic. You have no knowledge of that that I or anyone else is aware
of.

As for Jim, you claim to have him in your Bozo bin, so I don't
understand your frequent comments about his posts. Well, that's not
true. I completely understand the purpose of your responses. I see
his posts and frankly they are often funny as hell. I suspect he gets
as big a kick out of your accusations and disparaging remarks about him
as you enjoy making them. Pretty harmless, overall, unlike some of the
mean spirited and blatantly false statements and assumptions you often
make about people who don't agree with you. That's why I get ****ed off
sometimes.

Reminds me of five year olds sometimes. "He hit me first". Only thing
is I am one of several people who actually remember who started it.

I see the occasional flajim post second or third hand, when someone
quotes him.

And, as I posted earlier, you think flajim's snarky behavior here is
"funny as hell." So it is ok when your right-wing buddy does it. Right?
Hypocrisy.

If you wanted a nicer newsgroup, you'd share your wrath.

Then you should stop reading Donnie's responses to him.

Are you the same person that posted:

What Republicans are telling working Americans, the middle class, is

IRS-Tea Bagger "scandal"?

Why, Darrell Issa's illegitimate son,

AND
Cucci, cucci, coo...
You'd think if you were the GOP nominee for governor and you wanted to
succeed a scandal-ridden GOP governor, you'd want to be a bit less
crooked, especially if you were the sitting attorney general of the state.

Nah, not the cucc...Ken Cuccinelli, who wants to be the next governor of
Virginia.

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli says he's glad Gov. Bob McDonnell
is returning all the gifts he received from a major political donor. But
he has no plans to repay the more than $18,000 in gifts he received from
the same benefactor.

Cuccinelli told reporters Wednesday that Star Scientific CEO Jonnie
Williams didn't give him the kind of gifts that can be returned.

Among the gifts from Williams listed in Cuccinelli's financial
disclosure statements are a $1,500 catered Thanksgiving dinner, private
jet trips and vacation lodging. Cuccinelli said, "There are some bells
you can't unring."

Will the bell toll for the Cucc?
AND
Sad News...
Well, not all *that* sad.

Fewer Than Ten People Show Up For Ex-Gay Pride Event That Expected to
Draw 'Thousands'

Yesterday, American Family Radio’s Sandy Rios spoke to Ex-Gay Pride
Month organizer Christopher Doyle about today’s ex-gay lobby day on
Capitol Hill. Doyle, who was organizing the since-canceled Ex-Gay Pride
banquet at the Family Research Council, complained in an interview with
the Christian Post that “un-American” LGBT rights advocates have “shut
us out,” explaining that “because of all this homo-fascism and
indoctrination in the media, ex-gays aren’t given a fair shake.”

Rios confidently predicted that “thousands of ex-gays are descending” on
Washington for a press conference planned for today at the Supreme
Court. She lamented that when she led Concerned Women for America the
media refused to hear “our ex-gay friends” because it “undermined the
whole effort of the homosexual lobby.”

Doyle told Rios that “tens of thousands” of ex-gays exist but are “in
the closet because of fear, shame and threats from gay activists.”

Well, despite the expectation that “thousands of ex-gays” would partake
in Ex-Gay Pride Month, fewer than ten people showed up for the big event.

Besides Doyle, ex-gay activists Greg Quinlan of Parents and Friends of
Gays and Ex-Gays (PFOX), Richard Cohen of the International Healing
Foundation and Douglas McIntyre of Homosexuals Anonymous also participated.

The Family Research Council is one of the biggest crocks of crap in the
United States.

And this only goes back two days!

Those #$@%# slugs sure interfere with the sharing of information.

I had some Auto-Glym Vinyl & Rubber Care product made in England
kicking around the house, so I used that on my boat seat vinyl.
So far...so good.
Can you e-mail your tip directly to me?

Of course. Let me know if you get it. I seem to have several email
addys for you.
Sure you do. You exchange emails regularly, lying tax cheat.
