And concerning Mr. O'Neill...
You know what? He might be violating the law and he may have to suffer the consequences for that, but I respect any political representative who has had enough of the president's policies -- whether said Prez is Democrat or Republican -- and decides, once and for all, to draw attention to some potentially heinous shit that went on behind the administration's closed doors. Even if it were Dean under fire right now, the point is, the President's committing a serious injustice to his people if he's passing legislation with ulterior motives. Though I would smirk if the President said, "Well, I needed to take care of some business my daddy left behind..." fine! Damn! That's more of a straight answer than the public has seen or heard in a long time.
In my head, the Truth supercedes the Law.[/quote]
Certainly Truth does suercede teh Law which brings us back to the premise: we have no reason to believe his "truth" is correct!
Good comments on NCLB Dee, but I still hold that its general idea works just fine. We will always have fuding disparities if states continue to hold the pursetrings of public education and if voters in one town tend to be more levy-friendly than those of another town. Not sure how to fix that without another mindless beauracracy.
