Doug,

I have always thought of myself as a fiscal conservative, and a social
liberal. Since the Republicans have given up on the concept of being
fiscally conservative, I may have to look more closely at the Democratic
candidates this year.

Damn the Republicans have gone to hell in a handbasket. They must think
they are LBJ the way they are spending money they don't have.

If there is a will there is a way. It depends on how motivated the
person is to succeed in life.

Excuses are easy.


Person A works a 40 hour week and makes 50k a year.
Person B works a 90 hour week and makes 25k a year.

Would you theorize that it's easier, or harder for person B to go to
college?



Only 20% of the population should go to college. The rest are not college
material. We need trade schools etc. for the kids while in High School.
The state college administrators in California lobbied to eliminate manual
arts classes. Worse thing they could of done. A lot of those dropouts
would be making good salaries as auto mechanics, boat mechanics, etc, and
stayed in school and graduated. How many companies are trying to hire
machinists? Quite a few, but where is the training for them?
