Of course what I am about to say is pure speculation. I know there are different views on whether the coach is the most important piece or the players. My thought has always been it's the coach. So, let me ask your opinion: With the QB that PN-G had over the past two years, do you think that the coach at Carthage or Aledo could have had PN-G challenging for the State Championship and possibly won it once or twice?

May be more telling than strange!

Actually it is! The demolishing of the newest school in the system is the same thing! But, come the 4th, we'll see if the taxpayers are buying it!

The bond in its present form, wanting to demolish the newest school, is akin to someone personally saying: Well, my house needs a new roof and I want security installed. And my first thought is to demolish the house and build a new one on its spot. Sure, you'll get a new roof and a security system. But man, the cost!! I guess one could justify it, like this bond, by saying -- it makes sense to do this now because later on down the road it'll cost so much more to do this. I guess it makes it alright if someone else is paying for it. Right!!?? But think about it -- NO ONE in their right mind would personally think like this!!

The socialist/communist just had a massive heart attack! [Hidden Content]

Who?! LOL!!

One cannot run and hide from the fact that $156,000,000 is a massive amount of debt. And like I mentioned before -- kids in school now, if they stay in Nederland, will be paying dept service on this $156,000,000 when they become adults! Astonishing!

Mat, good question. I would say this: Jimma Carter created the dept of Education as a payoff to the teacher's union for their support. So, apparently it was not needed before that. Every state has a dept of Education. Just go back to the formula, whatever form that was, before he created it. Education seemed to work just fine previous to this creation.

Your opinion!

It is my understanding that LBJ moved the Social Security Trust Fund money into the government's general fund to help mask the cost of the Viet Nam war. We have nothing more than IOU's in the fund now. My suggestions: Stop putting into the general fund and keep everything in the trust fund. Wow, no brainer there! Then I would eliminate the Dept's of Education and Energy and earmark those expenditures to the SS trust fund. Remember -- these two dept's were created by Jimma Carter in the late 70's. Oh yeah, Carter also gave us gasoline lines. But that's a story for a different time. Anyway, those two dept's were not needed then and are not needed now. Thoughts? Suggestions?
