I have to agree that teachers and principals should be fired without reason IF it is obvious that they are not doing their job and it is obvious that the students have not learned properly. Religous beliefs and sexual orientation in any standard shouild never have anything to do with their termination.
What we need now is a whole lot more of younger, energetic teachers and principals who have the mindset and intelligence of what the teachers and principals of the 50's and 60's had.
We did not have the problems back then that we have now. And I can guarantee you that parents back then expected teachers and principals to also discipline the children if it became necessary. And believe me, when our parents found out about the discipline at school; by the time we got home, we caught it from our parents and then we caught it from our grandparents!
Schools set the law. They did not put up with any B... S...!
And we as children learned and caught the law from our parents and grandparents!
This is the way it should still be. Back then, we had learned better and grew up much smarter. We also learned to do math in our heads without calculators, computers and cash registers telling us how much change to give back to a customer!
We also learned how to manage money/finances and balance a checkbook (and a host of other things) , which is more than these kids of today can do.
Given the divisions now over past several months between the Presidential Candidates............Wouldn't it be interesting if nobody showed up to vote?..........Very interesting idea.
Personally, I don't have any trust, hope, faith in any of them. Never did for any politician. They have always wound up being nothing but lip service, and lies. They will tell you anything you want to hear just to get in office, and then turn their backs to everyone except the ones that pad their pockets and/or they turn coattails and become corrupt to save their face, livlihood, career, etc. and take payments under the table. Sometimes forced to change their minds to vote a certain way when they normally would not have.
I don't expect things to change, just get worse. But it sure would be nice if someday we had someone who did have the guts, balls, courage to REALLY change things for the better for everyone, without everything getting higher and the middleclass, blue collar workers, and poor having to bear the burden.
And not letting religion, unions, lobbyists, lawyers, pharmacies, etc, get in the way to stop things from getting better and not letting their own personal beliefs enter into it nor letting the publics personal religious beliefs enter.
And above all, Saying NO to helping everything and everybody overseas, and start helping our own here in our own country.
A new law not many people know about. I certainly did not. A new sneaky way for the police to issue tickets to bleed us for more money just so the politicians can have more money to pad their pockets with. And you can pretty well bet that the politicians are going to do their best in keeping this quiet as much as possible.
I would go so far as to say that there are probably a few lawyers who don't know about this, and yet lawyers and politicians expect us to know!
I received the following information from someone whose friend this had actually happened to.
So everybody be FOREWARNED!
Might be a good idea to pass this on to your friends, family, etc.

P.S.
I will add one other thing to this...............might be a good idea to keep this in mind while driving within your own city limits...........your own city mayor or someone higher may be telling your local police to do the same thing. Especially if they are trying to find a way to raise more revenue for one of their PET projects and of which they don't give a d___ about spending taxpayers dollars.
The politicians and their laws they make always find a way to screw us. Maybe it's high time we find a way to start screwing them! When is the American public going to wake up!
Or don't you care?
How to use Your IRS Rebate check;
As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each of us would get
a rebate check to stimulate the economy.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China If we
spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer
it will go to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to
Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, if we purchase a car it will go to
Japan, if we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it
will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America. The only way to keep that
money here at home is to spend it at yard sales, since those are the only
businesses still in the US.
Outside of this, the only other thing I have to add is this: (and I have always said this)
It's high time the American government stops taking care of everybody else's problems, and policing the world and supplying them with our money, our food, our jobs, our intelligence, etc. Instead, they ought to start taking care of their OWN people over here in the states first. Get our own house in order first, before we take care of someone else's problems overseas.
If they would start taking care of our own problems over here first, we wouldn't have the problems we have,
I understand that people can really save big money by buying their prescriptions at COSTCO! Sure beats all the others who play the political game just to bleed the rest of us for everything they can get. But then the pharmacies and hospitals, doctors, etc all play the political game to to keep their pockets padded to live like kings.
Politicians are the biggest abusers of the people. They could stop a lot of things practically overnight, but they won't because of losing out on money to pad their pockets; but they make the public think otherwise.
I have always believed they actually do have cures for several things, but are keeping it quiet, because they are making big money off of our illnesses.
