Something that I have never been able to figure out is why the adults in charge of schools -- from the board of ed. to the PTA -- can't get together and act like adults and work out compromises on such issues that allow all kids to celebrate their own cultural holidays without doing it in a way that is offensive to kids who come from families with a different culture.
The only answer that I seem to be able to come up with is because there aren't enough real adults in charge. They seem to be mostly run by 3 to 10-yr-olds in adult bodies.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
