I was in 1st grade when JFK was assassinated, we didn't even sing for HIM like this...And he was MUCH more well-liked than this byrd is...We DID do something horrible & terrible, though...We prayed for him right after we found out what had happened to him. Our teacher, Lois Armstrong, led us all in prayer. She shoulda had her butt tossed in the Can over that blatant display of Gov't Sponsored Religion... The school should have brought in counsellors 'n' psychiatrists to make sure we didn't have Permanent Damage done to our fragile psyches by having all that Religion stuffed down our throats by the Evil, Oppresive Government...

And Congress singing 'America the Beautiful' on the steps of the Capitol after 9-11, disgraceful...
My 2nd grade teacher, her eyes on fire, shaking the heck out of her finger: "Washington had two horses shot out from under him in that battle, and 10 bullet holes in his uniform, proof that God had destined him to lead the USA to come to being..."
I don't remember the number of bullet holes, but yeah. Terrible times.

Because they would rather not feel compelled to use them?

BTW, this is a local issue. School boards have elections, don't they?

Hell, that's nuttin'. Cole Younger got shot 26 times, served a life term in the Minnesota State Joint, then died free as an old man.
Reckon he was destined to be one tough SOB.

Welcome back Charlie!
Just want to say...in our neck of the woods people are making changes in their local government. I do believe as time goes by we will see a new taxpayer emerging. http://www.buffalonews.com/search/?t...&numresults=10
