I am sorry, but are you kidding me? Look at our history...it is filled with this. Weve done it in Nicaragua, Cuba, etc. etc. and were still doing it. Rebels dressed up as our troops? come on now...
Thank you to the authors for doing their homework and including Mr. Toersbijns. As a student of public administration at USC and as a 1995 graduate of Casa Grande Union High (the old campus in the middle of town), I can tell you that none of this is all that surprising. The dropout rate in my day was 50%, meaning half the kids I started school with as a freshman didn't make it to senior year. The teen pregnancy rate in Pinal County was the highest in the nation.
Pinal County has long served as a dumping ground for surrounding counties that expel students for drugs, violence and gang activity. Local and state government is blinded by prison-generated revenues and is therefore uninterested in addressing the real issue, which is that the needs of the state's youth, including kids from the rez, and extremely poor white, Hispanic and black kids, are not being met by the adults in their lives, and rather than using legislation to help these kids avoid a life of crime and recidivism, legislators give priority to corporations and special interest groups that profit at the expense of these youth.
Hey Arizona, if you ever want to be a state that's more than a hub for tourists, retirees, prisons and military (none of whom give a crap about your schools or your students), you better start funneling the financial incentives you get from CCA, while you have them, back into your schools and social welfare programs. And if you don't want to be the nation's dumping ground for criminals, you better find a way to take your economy back from those who don' care about the quality of life in your state.
Thanks for your comments.
I've been organic for years, depending on farmers markets in the northwest.
I have gone to whole foods and recently asked about corn on the cob for sale.
I was told it COULD be gmo and that whole foods caters to a wide range of people with different wants.
I knew then that it was a lost cause.
All is run for and by money at this time so we organic humans are fighting a real battle.
I will go to the food in sight website to see what they offer, thanks.
WOW- ignorance comes in many forms.
Education is a good thing.
The country of France sued Monsanto and won.
Monsanto lied about the poison in their weed killer for years and years.
Do you think Monsanto is now telling the truth?
Are there any monies involved--get the picture of today's world yet??
Look that up before you call anyone besides yourself ignorant.
Go back to your microscope and eat your gmo's.
You are being called out as the ignorant liar in this case.
Don't kid yourself, Amazed...both parties are just as corrupt. You need to find an unbiased view/website to gather your information and good luck with that. Read about George Soros or Acorn, to get an idea of Dem shenanigans. Or go to Rootstrikers website, an unbiased website about lobbying. Men (women) are men and no matter where you are you will find corruption.
Aside from that, as a peon in this country I find that people registering to vote prior to the election should be a rule. It's ridiculous to think that a bunch of people can just show up and register 'on' the day. My daughter voted for the first time this year and I made sure she went through the proper registration procedures weeks prior to the election. If someone has just moved and not changed their license nor gotten any mail with their current address how can they even prove that they are eligible to vote. These are the usual requirements where I live.
In the long run does it even matter if we vote??? The electoral college ultimately votes the president in... Herein lies the apathy among many citizens.
Amazed, most of the people I know (both party types) here in America don't want to invade ANY countries, we want peace for all and would hope that whomever those people are would find it themselves. We hear just as much 'sickening' stuff going on in Europe and the Middle East - life is hard for all of us.
