They said, "We applaud the School to Work program. There isn’t one path for everyone. There isn’t even one direction."
Well, the school to work program is socialist in nature because it takes children who they (insert name of school administrator here) think are slow and forces them into a training program for one specific low level job. For example if little Suzy is going only going to be on a housekeeping staff at the local motel why teach her anything about Algebra or Geometry, and for that matter why teach her the proper use of the English language, she is not going to need that because all the other bed changers speak Spanish.
This is bull, a High School Diploma used to mean that the person who had one could navigate through life with a basic set of necessary skills that would enable them to obtain employment at the entry level in many occupations. When the failing schools started giving and I mean giving diplomas to individuals who could not read, write, and speak the English language, add, subtract, multiply, and divide, (the simple skills needed to balance a checking account) and without the ability to think or reason, those so called educators devalued the diploma to the point that to get an entry level position you now need a collage degree. We have too many of the expert administrators who make too much money diverting funds from the individuals who actually produce the product!
Now that the people were suckered into a new school building at a cost of millions the editorial board wants to talk about improving the quality of the product produced in the building. That was something that the board should have been discussing prior to pushing a new building and expense on us, and the same goes for the hospital. But I digress! If you love your children educate them yourself, they will thank you for it later. My dad always said if you want a job done right do it yourself!

Yea, now that you are no longer an official member of the club you are one of them in the US vs. Them culture that is the "Enforcement" community! (If you can call it a community) It does not matter how many years you carried a badge you are now looked upon as the threat, you know, one of those "criminal civilians" as Rex used to say. Be careful out there, one objectionable statement from you now or one misinterpreted move and you will be Tazed. Even if you don't have any health issues (That you know about) and somehow in the course of being Tazed you don't survive don't worry, it will be some other natural cause of death that kills you not the guy with the Tazer. (The corporation that makes those wonderful devices will sue anyone who says that the cool little gizmo caused your death including your family.) It won't happen over night but eventually you will realize you have become one of the great unwashed masses.
And with that said, welcome Dusty, you are now one of us!

Mr. Mcshame spent 20 hours in combat before he was shot down. he got one medal for every hour and a half he spent in combat. He dumped his first wife who waited for him to quickly marry Mc Cindy, the woman who's father had nefarious connections to shall we say the Italian families from the east. It was with her family money that made him the politico he is today.
His "HOTSHOT" wet start of one of the jets he was to fly one day was the cause of the loss of 134 sailors who died as a result. What a hero piece of $h*+ ! He only got as far as he did in the navy because his daddy and grandpa were both Admirals. I thank God he was shot down! I am sure it saved American lives.

Sooner or later the people who recreate in Moffat County will realize that the unofficial law enforcement motto of this county is "Come here on vacation, leave on probation" it is just part of the culture of the place!

So the rumor is that a 17 year old girl sent some 28 year old guy her picture. and he is going to jail? Aside from the fact that a significant percentage the young girls these days dress and act like hookers and look twice their age, I could see that it might be easy for a 28 year old guy to think it was ok for a 34 year old looking woman to send him her photo. I guess I need more facts before I get judgemental on this one.
On I was curious of anyone has heard about this

Well that was interesting, she makes good promises but, she was endorsed by the worthless no account currently holding the DA position, which is a clear indication we should all be thinking of the other candidate. Just remember the worthless no account supported Bill Ritter for governor and we have all seen him in action. What a peach!
It seems to me that an endorsement from worthless is code for more of the same. Maybe it would be that Ms. Oldham could get more votes by rejecting Bonnie's endorsement.
(Gee, I hope the descriptive words "worthless no account" which clearly describes the situation Ms. Oldham has identified and is campaigning against as a significant problem currently in the DA's Office is not considered to be a reason to delete my opinion here!)

This is an example of the draconian laws and regulations that the rulers or should I say the Decider can now impose on you.
Article from World Net Daily states,
"An official with the Department of Homeland Security says the U.S. should consider having airline passengers wear electronic bracelets that could track their movements, hold personal information and be triggered like a Taser to stun them into immobility.
Paul S. Ruwaldt of the DHS Science and Technology Directorate wrote the inventor of "the immobilizing security bracelet," a Canadian company, saying he looked forward to receiving a written proposal..."
Nice to be tracked everywhere you go and tazered if they don't like the places or stores you visit. Paul S. Ruwaldt and his bosses are a clear and present danger to your freedom. And what government does he work for? Check out the article at wnd.com!

First of all I was of the mind set that no one could be so psychotic to do the inside job. The fact of the matter is that I like you granny told people who kept telling me it was an inside job that they were full of it. Then I looked at the evidence, the selling short of stock of American Airlines and United Airlines securities five times the normal level on September 10th 2001, the clear implosion of the WTC-7 building, with the use of explosives which can be clearly heard on the video tapes. The fact that the tower had serious maintenance issues requiring the facade to be replaced on each at a cost of billions of dollars.
Granny, it is not the government, it is specific individuals inside the government who get their orders from corporate interests. Most Government employees are good conscientious individuals who would never think of hurting anyone. The others are Psychopaths, a condition I only previously associated with nutcase criminals like Ted Bundy. He was an unsuccessful psychopath! How could Bill Clinton lie, lie, lie? The same way GWB does it, that's how!
People knew, stock traders knew, individuals in government knew, and at the highest levels and did nothing to stop it. And so far they got away with it! SO FAR, but not forever.

England had an empire and now the United States has one. We have all seen the results of the local control by certain interests of stories in the local Moffat County print media and here on the forum. I mentioned it in another thread today how the forum was suspended until after the election two elections ago because the favorite candidate of the press had been exposed for previous misconduct and then a family member confirmed the misdeeds.
What happens at the national level is the same and we have to dig for the truth later because it is covered up. for example NBC is owned by GE, Ge makes lots of cool gadgets like aircraft engines that are used when the US goes to war. Do you think NBC would cover any story that would hurt sales of engines or other toys that the military uses. Not a chance. And there are interlocking boards of directors on all the corporate boards of these corporations so when it is time to approve a compensation package for the executives of corporation A, it is approved so that the president of that corporation who is on the board of corp B will approve the package for the guy who approved his raise in pay on his board of directors. And you wondered why the president of a company gets 35 million dollars a year while the people who actually produce the product sold by the company only get 50 thousand dollars a year. There is nothing that pres. does except sit on the boards of other companies that have executives who sit on his board. That's it! And they are making a killing in the business of killing. I hope you don't think that is in America's interest. Because all it does is make people everywhere hate Americans and want to kill people like you and me..
It is not that I don't know what needs to be done to a group of people who have decided that I need to convert to their religion or they will kill me.
But before we go any further on the subject go to U-TUB and find all the information about WTC-7 you can. Watch the videos of that building that was not hit by an airplane falling. See the video of the BBC reporter announcing that the building has collapsed 30 minutes before it was imploded. Watch her report as it still stands behind her. There is all kinds of disinformation out there about who knew what when and how it all happened. Check it out, it is hard to believe but the unspeakable happened, but it did and there is no other conclusion that can be made. It is simply impossible for her to report it had collapsed prior unless it was planned!

50cal, you are 100% right about this paper. Two elections ago they suspended this forum for like two weeks after (the misdeeds of a candidate the paper was pulling for) were exposed and confirmed by his own daughter in law who stated something like a family meeting had taken place where the candidate told the family members what they would hear about him and that everything that had been discussed in the forum was talked about at the family meeting.
The paper shut it down and there was no more forum until after the election and many people quit posting.
As far as the printed word here, some people talk about credibility and loosing credibility, but because I know how wrong some of the stories have been in the past, I view each article with healthy skepticism. When friends and relatives get together on weekends we have had hours laughing about some of the complete nonsense reported as fact as well as the facts that are not reported in this paper. If you have been around long enough in this community you know why certain people and families get preferential treatment, they don't call it the Craig Mafia for nothing!
