    I have used Tabasco or Jalapeno vinegar juice on squirrels in the attic, it worked.

    Keep a spray-bottle full, spray all the hidden (problem area) cables that people and pets typically don't touch (weekly at least). Provide (if you feel you must) a couple old phone books for alternative nest building material. Train the rodents what not to eat in your symbiotic relationship [common environment].

    Getting rid of the pest is easy, but sealing access to the area is best. Lowes/HDepot get some spray-foam fill holes in the floors and walls. Rodents like most animals and manager-parasites are opportunistic ... will take the easy path to success provided by other animals and very intelligent people. Additionally, the foam will sometimes totally entomb rodents in the floor/wall and you will avoid the decay-smell that frequently comes with the poisons option.

    The greater the disparity of education funding per-child (not overhead BS like desk, sports, building maintenance, school board/admin pay) between public and private education, the greater is the failures of the USA.

    Equal education and learning never existed in the USA. The 1960s Civil Rights movement was addressed by expanding "Separation but equal" between the sycophant/religious plutocrat schools of our masters and "We The Slaves" of US. Any arguments from a USA Citizen to this statement, does indicate their probable social-economic birthrights or their dogmatic simple minded madness.

    A nation and "The People" cannot be free or great when enslaved by birthrights and dogma. The USA Constitution (for plutocrats) is an old piece of paper with problematic historical implications.

    As "We The People" become less educated and informed "Our USA Constitution" becomes whatever the prevailing US Aristocracy (USA) spin would make it. "The USA Constitution" is no longer the ideal/values we (as humans) strive to provide US and humanity, it is now the "USA" little paper memorial to past history and greatness.

    Religious Freedoms become religious pseudo-values to promotion faux-democracy of law, policy, politics, and education by dogma/lies. Mega-church clerics and international corporatist minions provide US palatable slavery with dogma-fear [AKA: BS] reasoning.

    Education/learning and News available to the general public are the direct proportional measure of a free people and wealthy society.

Being a debtor should not be a crime, unless the real intent was not to pay (theft), but a speculative creditor that negligently (loss of business/professional license to practice), or knowingly (prison) participates in predatory credit activities.
