Damn you're good with words.Its been a long day and im lost for words at this time.Basically,its going to keep getting worse.I strongly believe that it doesnt matter who we vote for to put in office of different branches of the government.Its all about money and it will always be about money.Worthless pieces of paper to say the least.But that worthless paper controls everything.There will always be some lower to middle class family hung out to dry when "the music for the musical chair game stops" There is always going to be more debt than there is actual money.It goes beyond the government.Halliburton,federal reserve and all these multi billion to multi trillion dollar companies will always have the upper hand.In my eyes its up to our government to stop these "bullies" and they wont cuz they are all tied in together.Screwing us as ppl and we just sit back and nod our heads yes,so the cycle continues.Is there any way to stop it?Doubtful!As far as the lottery goes S.C. started the "education" lottery several years back.S.C. still has some of the lowest test scores in the nation.They throw just enuff money into education to keep ppl smiling and to keep ppl buying lottery tickets,because hey its funding education so they say.the school here are over run with gangs,violent crimes,drugs etc.The teachers dont get paid what they deserve and there is nowhere enuff police and other programs to keep kids out of the so called "dirt".You would think bringing in multi-billions of dollars in the "education lottery" that test scores would slightly rise if not dramatically rise.Ill tell you where the money goes,into the pockets of the ppl that keep it going and to the government for them to use in whatever way they want.I recently replaced a windshield for one of the SECRETARIES of the lottery office.She was driving a brand new BMW 740 0r 745 i cant remember.So they will continue to blind the public with 100 new school busses here,couple thousand computers there and minor pay raises to teachers and school officials.While we smile and keep funding the employees who dont have a clue about the education system to drive brand new BMW's or whatever else luxury items they want.While the teacher if the year gets to drive his/her 1997 honda accord to work.It sucks and it sucks big time....But hey,THATS THE WAY IT IS!

I had an English teacher in high school that sent me home with a deficiency notice for having a 97 average. Her reasoning was that I was slacking off and my parents took as seriously as as if it had been an F. The philosophy she drilled in me was that you can have the best and brightest ideas in the universe and they are worthless if you cannot express them accurately and definitively through verbal and written communication.

Sometimes I wanted to strangle her she pushed me so hard and expected seemingly impossible levels of achievement. But she was extremely fair, honest and forthright and the most insightful person I have ever met to peoples personalities and the differences in the way one learns from one person to the next.

I so respect her and wish more teachers were like her and were paid accordingly.
