What do you base your political decisions on?

The other 'talking point" that makes me crazy is the issues about schooling.


You can have the best teachers, classes and facilities and it no one gets the kids interested or makes them attend you may as well spend it on CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!

This goes back to the school that Oprah opened up in Africa.

She said that when she spoke to the American kids, they wanted iPods, jeans and other material BS.

A TV show-I think it was Colbert or Stewart, sent a reporter to a u.s. school and asked them if they wanted cool stuff or money for the schools. The kids were like, "Man, give us money for a good school!"


I have to laugh because Oprah probably asked them what they wanted, as opposed to what they needed.

I tend to think any kid would want a cool computer lab, pool or just plain air conditioning to make their school experience more bearable.
