My point exactly Griff.  At least there's someone out there paying attention
who can think for himself (rather than just regurgitating what they have
been told by the almighty pol. pundits of the major parties, etc.)

BTW:  Most kids start doing better in school as soon as they realize that
*somebody* is interested in them, in their welfare, and not just trying
to keep them in a room for 6 hours a day.
