Up and at 'em

If you have some extra time, look up PTAs over Florida for me. Get a list of the counties by keying in “List of Florida counties” in Google. I want to give the board and administration the publicity that they are so terrified of and should be. Happy New Year. lee

The Gates Foundation seems benevolent, but it is really greed driving it. If you can get kids to use Microsoft PCs and software you get them possibly hooked for the rest of their lives on using those products. Gates wants to create a monopoly and squash mac or other computer companies. It pretends to help others while simply trying to use another route to filling its pocket book.

Pepsi does a similar thing. It gives its products away at such low rates to the school district so that kids will grow up with Pepsi (even though it is an inferior product to Coke) and buy Pepsi products later on in life.

Don't trust anyone or anything. Money is the driving force behind EVERYTHING in this world unfortunately. People have found out how to use kids and taxpayer dollars to make a fortune. It is the Republican way. Screw everyone and make a fortune for yourself.

they had the will power. But Hillsborough’s can’t even stop no-bid contracts.

I have worked for women’s rights for 45 years. But I don’t believe that most men are evil. Quite a few are, however, when it comes to women’s rights. And those Arab guys all need a horse whipping for such practices as honor killing. I bought a tee-shirt to send to my old-time women’s rights friends for Christmas to salute our years in the women’s rights work together. It said, “Three wise men.” Second line: “Be serious.” The Publix male manager, a nice old guy, stopped me for a long conversation about the relationship of the sexes. We are making progress in changing minds in that fight.

I don’t think we have yet made a dent in the school board and administration. I send out a magnum opus for the January opening of the schools. So we’ve got that going for us.

Put a comma after “software” in the second line of your piece for introductory adverbial clause. I have a twit accusing me of not correcting the punctuation of my favorites. He’s engaged in blog stalking. I think he has a granny fetish. Such characters are out there. Some sick souls get off on dead bodies. Lord, lord.

You are a good writer. Your work has drive and pace. Style is hard to teach. It usually comes to people who read a lot. If you read enough good stuff, the magic of words gets in your bones, and you write well. If you don’t read anything but pap, you don’t write well. It’s as simple as that. I am reading geology now. Some of these geologists can write like a house afire. I just paid $400 for a first edition of a geological classic. I must be crazy.

You are right. No one has made a dent in the school district. It is run by the most arrogant and unethical people you can imagine. They will never admit to wrongdoing and never change their ways. These people crave power and could care less about anyone but their pocketbooks.

You should closely examine how they award that big scholarship money they tout specifically for black youth. The reality is that if the 'poor black child' is not (and I'm serious here) already FROM a wealthy family and able to qualify as or IS a Rhodes scholar there is NO money for anyeone else. Unless they've changed it drastically. I checked into it first thing cause I'm wildly suspicious of billyco. They don't want that money going for anything they can't bill and coo over.
Lee, it's downright disgusting. What a paper trail of faux goodness leading NOWHERE. And raising children to follow in their footsteps.

This kind of generalized babble really dilutes an argument. No party has a monopoly on greed so leave the labels out. I am not defending the Republicrats. Both parties are equally guilty (remember Hillary's commodities "killing" and Barney Franks Fannie/Freddie directives) so let's look at individuals OK? We can call an individual out. Just watch Lee at any board meeting.

Keep in mind that the marketing tactics used by Pepsi and Microsoft, etc. are THE STANDARD Operating Procedure. Apple (in the elementary schools), McDonalds, Disney, etc. perfected the approach. It is no secret.

Smarten up your kids to recognize the influence and hope they make better decisions. Leave the sorry sixties catch phrases where they belong - in the past.
