The next time a politician, republican or democrat, is discussing failed policies ask them what they are doing to rectify the problem. I don't want to hear the continuous bashing of the other side because that doesn't help stimulate the economy or lower the nation's debt. Our elected officials need to stop acting like childtren and get the job done.
Lets be honest, Truancy laws have nothing to do with children, it has to do with money. Schools receive money based on student attendance. Once that is made clear, then you can see how the judge comes to the conclusion and sentence he made. Although she works 2 jobs, and is an excellent student with a great work ethic who other students should look up to, she cost her school money, and for that she should be punished. After all isn't that what we do in this country when they cost our public institutions money, we punish them. Very sad and unfortunate.
in regaurds to the mermaid show. i saw it the other night and could not believe what i was watching. when it showed the body on the beach my jaw dropped. i did think it was a re enactment but i could not believe this could happen. then you see the end it u realise it is fiction. but in all honesty i thought while watching it was real for a few reason. the biggest being this...(my point) back at the turn of the 20th century we would of never though we would travel to space let alone walk on the moon. look at how far we have come with computers that fit in your hand to driving cars instead of walking or riding horses. Dinosaurs..... finding fish that glow in the dark in the deepest parts of the ocean. So maybe we will find out that mermaids, as far fetched as it seems might exist. maybe they wont look like us with tails or hot babes with sea shell bikinis, maybe the will look more like manities but hey why rule anything out now?
